Letter: What was her lawyer thinking?

Letters to the Editor
OPINION: The minimum charge in the Alison Downer case was unbelievable; the inadequate sentencing is unbelievable. Even more unbelievable, however, is the statement by her lawyer, Sandy Baigent, that there was a lack of multiple victims, meaning a more lenient jail sentence was appropriate. She quite obviously has no insight or empathy regarding the enormous suffering, both emotional and economic, being shouldered by Frank van Kampen's widow and children.
