“Transgender patient Evie Amati was sentenced to nine years and will be eligible for parole in four-and-a-half years for the 2017 attack in a 7-Eleven store in Enmore, New South Wales, Australia, a suburb of the east coast metropolis of Sydney.

Amati walked into the store carrying a two-handed logging ax and approached victim Ben Rimmer, who was standing in line by the checkout counter. Video surveillance of the sneak attack shows the wannabe killer engaging Rimmer in a short conversation, then hauling off and slamming the sharp ax head directly into the victim’s face.”

her lawyer argued her transgender operation caused her immense pain and contributed to her later trying to kill strangers.

That’s a thing, is it? People suffering pain go round hitting strangers in the head with an axe? Who knew?

Not sure this information will be appearing in a Mermaids training session anytime soon

She was sentenced to a minimum of four and a half years behind bars, after her lawyer argued her transgender operation caused her immense pain and contributed to her later trying to kill strangers.

News.com.au has learned that Amati, who has been held in three different women’s prisons since her arrest two years ago, has used her intelligence and skills as former union organiser Karl Amati to push other female inmates around in the system.

But this never happens.

Link to petition to have Amati’s sentence appealed and kept in prison for at least 10 years.

Yeah I'm not sure mitigation about the person's hard life should be allowed really.
It's basically saying if you had a hard life you're more dangerous, because there's some justification in your past for violent outbursts.
It's insulting to anyone who has been through tough times and not smacked anyone in the face with an axe.
Or who has been abused and doesn't abuse others.
Pity for the defendant should have nothing to do with anything.

Disgusting person and appalling sentence. Those 3 people could very easily have died.

Life in a male prison should have been the result.

That's a very thorough report.

I wonder if he'd have let his guard down if he had been approached by someone who looked like a man?

And thank God Amati's tinder date blew out.
