In a post on Instagram at the time, Rebecca said it was sad to see how broken the justice system had become and implored Allan to jail offenders.
‘This story is very sad. The justice system is broken. Fix this Jacinta Allan. “Let this be her legacy,” she wrote alongside a report on Dr. Gordon’s death.
“Until the ‘prevention first’ strategy starts to work among teens (it could take years. It may never work!), it is necessary to keep the community safe by locking up violent offenders.”
