On
August 4, 2003, New South Wales woman Daniela Dawes (pictured) forced her 10-year-old
autistic son Jason's mouth closed and pinched his nose until he stopped
struggling.
Describing the killing on Channel Nine's 60 Minutes program, Dawes
said "He was playing. I, being in a depressed state, wasn't really up for playing. And I remember he ran
off and I know I followed him into the rumpus room and then it was just something that was all happening before
my eyes. I had no control over what was happening that day".
After laying Jason's body on his bed, she phoned work to say she would not be
in.
The legal system bent over backwards to accommodate this callous murderer.
The public prosecutor accepted a guilty plea on the lesser charge of
manslaughter.
In an incredible move when sentencing Dawes for her unspeakable crime in the Parramatta court on June 2, 2004, Judge Roy Ellis said that she had
suffered enough (never mind Jason) and let her walk free on a five-year good
behaviour bond.
"I wish you all the best", said Judge Ellis as Dawes walked from
the court and into a paid interview with TV host, Ray Martin.
Martin, host of A Current Affair, spoke to radio 2GB in defence of the interviews. "In the real world, people today . . . demand money for their stories. It would be fantastic if we didn't have to spend Mr Packer's money on these things," he said.
Dawes then took out an apprehended violence order against her husband,
grabbed her remaining child and fled back to her home town.
When it was announced two weeks later that the Director of Public
Prosecutions had appealed the sentence on the grounds that it was grossly
inadequate, Martin called Dawes back for another interview.
Dawes has a make-over for Ray Martin
Gone was the frumpy woman with glasses, a look obviously cultivated for the court
appearances. In her place was a glamorous woman with a stylish hair-do and no
glasses. In an amazing role reversal the killer now played the victim. Here was
the kind, innocent woman who could not understand why the legal system was
persecuting her.
Martin, a notorious bleeding-heart, was sucked right in. He expressed concern about how this poor
woman could cope with going back to court and with facing a possible jail
sentence.
"So you're coming back to Sydney tomorrow" said Martin with a
worried frown. "Where
will you live, where will you stay, what will you do?".
Not one word of condemnation about Dawes' heinous crime from the unctuous
Martin.
"Daniela, I wish you well", said Martin at the end of the
interview, echoing Judge Ellis' words.
Is Dawes a psychopath?
It was all happening before my eyes but I didn't do it, is a trait of
psychopaths who notoriously disclaim responsibility for their actions.
Portraying themselves as victims instead of perpetrators of crimes is another
trait of psychopaths.
