Australia: Drug mum loses appeal

Border Mail

Tuesday 06 Sep 2011

AN Albury mother of seven, a cannabis user and dealer, yesterday had a five-month jail term confirmed in a severity appeal in the District Court at Albury.

Judge Martin Blackmore said he could see no real basis for Kathy May Miller's appeal with no error in a judgment handed down by magistrate Gordon Lerve.

Miller's jail term of five months with a further seven months on parole was confirmed by Judge Blackmore and she was immediately taken into custody.

Solicitor Chris Day submitted a suspended sentence would be an appropriate penalty.

Miller was sentenced on August 5 by Mr Lerve and immediately lodged a severity appeal being released on bail.

The circumstances of her being caught in a surprise police raid selling cannabis from her home were outlined by police.

When police raided her Hume Street home about 9.30am on October 6 last year, Miller told them: "You have got me a beauty."

"I'm trying to make a living that's all.

"I'm trying to do my secretly private stuff and the boys have brought me undone now unless you turn a blind eye."
