"The" Book

I just saw that... so freaken sad

Yea, there's no way I'd buy anything that would end up profiting the woman - I don't really care whether she was the one who did it or whether she was just happy to live in a situation where two poor wee ones were in such terrible danger.

If all she really wanted was 'her side of the story out there', then she'd be giving the profits to some childrens charity.

Its just so wrong - like you said the case not concluded so how can they write a book and why would you want to buy it, written from such a strong bias, whether she did or did not do it, the fact is she didn't protect them either.

I hope bookstores take a stand against the book, I have noticed some smaller bookstores have refused to sell it, I just hope all the attention its getting doesn't make people curious and buy it - I am beyond disgusted.

I agree with you hopes if she was serious, then shse's be doing this to raise money to support childrens charities.

 

according to the author, Ian Wishart, she wont be getting any of the royalties from the book

Authors views of boycott

At this point I don't even care if she has 'new' evidence. Those poor little boys were subjected to severe abuse and neglect and the whole waste of space of a family closed ranks to protect themselves rather than their children. Taonga my arse. As far as I'm concerned the whole bloody family are as guilty as each other, round em up and sterilise the lot of them.

If she wanted to tell her side of the store she should have talked to the police or in court.

I know people close to the medical case and believe she is guilty for those poor wee babies lives. It makes me think impermanent sterilisation is the way to go. She had already lost her other kids to CYFS, then killed those two but can just go on and on having babies.

And guess who is paying for her to do that?????

Whilst she may get royalites from the book, does not mean she did not receive some money as an up front payment, I do not believe she has done this for free, otherwise why would she not have just given all this supposed new info in court.

They did charge someone - Chris Kahui. He was arrested and charged with the crime and then aquitted; just because his defence did a good job, doesn't mean he didn't do it. All the police evidence obviously pointed to him and was enough, they thought, to get a conviction.

I wouldn't buy it but I would read it. I'd like to hear how things can get that bad. I too suspect she may have been paid a fee for her input. There've been plenty of books written in support of 'criminals' (such as Joe Karam's David Bain book) so this really isn't a new thing.

I heard Ian Wishart on the talkback and he wholeheartedly believes that she didn't do it. He also said that the information in the book is not 'news' to the police but probably will be to the public and that in the book, she reveals who she believes did do it. According to the book, she wasn't one of the people who kept her mouth shut to the police and she helped them as much as she could.

I'm just sad that no justice has been done for these little babies.

Im disgusted this book was published!! I agree with Pillow Fight. Although that scum won't get paid royalties from the book selling, she still get paid for telling her story. disgusting!!

Jelly, I saw on the news tonight that said ex boyfriend later went on to admit he wasn't great at truth telling and then when asked again weather she had said those things to him he said no. Then he claimed the convo was recorded on his cellphone which has been examined and they found nothing.
