The Judge's Decision on a Whole-Life Tariff

Wayne Cousins has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The judge said that his decision was influenced by the fact that Cousins abused his power as a police officer to detain Evert. Sarah's murder had sparked a huge and very volatile debate on why Cousins wasn't properly vetted before being allowed into a position of power. It also emerged that Cousins had apparently been involved in two uninvestigated incidents of indecent exposure, one of which was at a branch of McDonald's.
