Australians, do you feel taxpayers should be expected to fund 'Cocaine Cassie's' legal defence?

Question

And should her family & fiancé be profiting from their stories?
 
It's rumoured 60 Minutes paid $1 mil.

Answer

What is "Cocaine Cassie"?

Answer

Fuck no, she can do time like Schapelle. My money and taxes should be going towards those who need it and my education. Not some bogan's coke habits.

Answer

I don't even know if she's innocent. Why should we fund her defense? Why not find the other side of the argument? Who's deciding who's right and who's wrong here?
Sounds like they have plenty of money to handle it anyway.

Answer

If the family have received 1 million dollars for the 60 minutes interview then surely that is enough to pay for her legal defence? I don't mind if our tax goes towards it or not but don't understand how you could be struggling to afford a lawyer with 1 million in the bank?

Answer

Wow,  I wasn't aware of this.  Can you direct me to a site where all of this is explained?

Answer

Can we have a backstory please?
