Supreme Court Justice Roderick Howie... described the supply as a "social" or consensual one... (and) "must be on the absolute lowest range of such offences".If Mrs Brimble had been loaned an unlicensed air gun and accidentally killed or maimed herself with it, the gun's owner would be punished for the supply of an illegal weapon, despite an air gun being on the lowest range of such weapons.
Justice Howie... said Ms Brimble's death had impacted greatly upon Mr Wilhelm, with evidence tendered revealing he had "an acute mental illness" as a result of depression and anxiety... "No punishment I can give will be anything like the punishment he has suffered over the years," Justice Howie said. He said he hoped Mr Wilhelm could now get on with his life.
What's so different about supplying illegal drugs? Are they not a loaded weapon?
And why has it been impossible to get some sort of justice in the Brimble case?

I heard last night on late news update before the late news that they're talking about reopening the coroners' inquiry... they had to shut it down while the charges on Wilhelm were prosecuted.
I think the circumstances of Dianne Brimble's death and the disregard and disrespect of the group of men who shared that room showed for women in general, and that they were in the room when she was incapacited and did not call for assistance shows a callous disregard....
I hope that it goes to court.
It appears that the judge seems to have forgotten about Dianne Brimble as the victim, she's dead. But what about her children and family who loved her? What about their suffering?
