A sexual assault victim has mounted a campaign to stop voluntary assisted dying in prison, feeling “robbed” her perpetrator died on his terms.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was permitted to die voluntarily because of a terminal cancer diagnosis, becoming the first prisoner in NSW to access the system.
He was seven years into a 30-year prison term with a non-parole period of 20 years for a string of sex crimes.
A victim – the man’s daughter – revealed the pain the decision to grant him “the easy way out” had brought her and other victims.
“I will have to live my entire life playing with the effects of his abuse … I and other victims feel robbed that …
And if the man had served every day of his prison sentence, she would have been complaining that he shouldn’t be released. Irrational people cannot be appeased. It’s sheer foolishness to try.
I can only hope no US legislator reads this and thinks it’s a good idea.
Having terminal cancer and her dad being in prison wasn’t enough for her. She’s the female version of Oliver Twist, ” Please sir, can I have some more. ” She should be raising funds for her mental health issues.
” My father’s dying on his terms is not good enough” Is she Cyndi Lauper fan?
Just asking:
With how truly f666ed this country is, is there a 290 section that should now apply to all the legislators, cops, judges, lawyers, and PTA members who participated in it?
