Lee270744 684 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 Several affidavits supporting Murray were presented in court, including one from Maori party co-leader Tariana Turia, who said Murray had struck her as being of honest character. This is the Woman who fell in love with that mongrel Reid who killed the deaf girl in Christchurch. Former MP John Tamihere had offered Murray a job at Waipareira Trust, and said "her ability to provide legal services will make significant contribution to the trust." Auckland University law faculty associate dean Khylee Quince's affidavit said Murray put her heart and soul into anything she took on, which she said was "a very Maori and very female approach to advocacy." Judge Collins refused an application for discharge without conviction, saying the consequences of conviction did not outweigh the gravity of the offence. The most serious aggravating factor was Murray's use of her position as a lawyer to carry out the offending, he said. She had also falsely accused two prison officers of planting evidence, which had to be weighed against her claims of good character. "That sort of mitigation must be tempered by the fact that to protect her own position, Ms Murray deliberately and falsely accused others." Judge Collins said Murray had made the job of other "passionate hard-working and undervalued defence counsel" even tougher. He sentenced her to 50 hours' community work, reduced from 100 hours for being a first offence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uriah Heap 481 Report post Posted October 1, 2013 It was hard to feel any sympathy for this woman. She came across as an arrogant lier. However, having said that, for to fall for a man like this, she must have some issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
