A former animal shelter worker who attempted to sell human toes coughed up by the dog of a dead man has defended her outrageous behavior. Lilydale mum-of-five Joanna Kathlyn Kinman, 48, from Melbourne's north-east, was convicted and sentenced to an 18-month community corrections order - with a 150-hour work order - on Monday, after pleading guilty to one count of offensive conduct involving human remains.
She's a ghoul, and once upon a time, we didn't suffer these people to live among us, but hey, 'progress', I guess.
Magistrate Andrew Sim told Ringwood Magistrates' Court he accepted Kinman had shown remorse for her 'entirely shocking' actions.
Then he's an idiot who really shouldn't be a magistrate, because she sang a very different song for others:
But Daily Mail Australia can now reveal Kinman expressed little sympathy when she contacted a reporter in September after being exposed for the sickening crime. 'I don’t know who I can trust but there is a lot more behind the scenes regarding council rangers and their disregard for human remains and protocols - there is so much more to this story,' she wrote then.
Ah, the old 'Look, everyone does it!' excuse...not this time, lady. Even her lawyer struggled:
Her lawyer, Rainer Martini, described his client's actions as 'reprehensible'. 'spontaneous' and 'insensitive'. But argued she had already suffered enough by the media reporting of her atrocious behaviour.
Those are consequences, not parts of the feeble punishment.
