Stumbled across this story on stuff.co.nz today.
Looks like the loony who hijacked a Jetstream flying from Blenheim to Christchurch is appealing her nine-year jail sentence in the NZ Court of Appeal. Apparently as a refugee escaping the "horrors of Somalia", she has never fitted into NZ society, and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, on-going adjustment difficulties, and behaviour disturbance.
Never mind about the victims of her crimes, particularly the crew who by all accounts did a sterling job to get on the ground without any fatalities, and were seriously injured in the process, resulting in one of them being unable to continue with his career. The scars are going to be with him for life... I wholeheartedly hope that this hijacker gets no reduction in sentence.
