Girls found dark path led to murder

A GRADUAL slide into an obsession with death, darkness and gothic culture led a teenage girl "who wouldn't kill a spider" to transform into a cold-blooded killer, a Perth court has been told. Described by her family as a caring young child, the 16-year-old former girl guide has admitted savagely murdering a girl by strangling her with speaker wire.
The 16-year-old's friend helped commit the murder by holding a face washer soaked with chemicals over the mouth of Eliza Jane Davis, 15, as she struggled against her slightly-built killers.
The two teenagers have pleaded guilty to wilfully murdering Eliza in the mining town of Collie, 200km south of Perth, in June last year.
During a sentencing hearing, the court was told there was no apparent reason for the killing. Prosecutors are seeking life imprisonment, with a minimum 15-year term.
One of the girls' lawyers, Michael Clarke, said his client had begun smoking cannabis at age the age of nine, before turning to amphetamines, heroin, LSD and ecstasy at 14.
"Anything she could get her hands on she was willing to try," Mr Clarke said.
Moving out of home at 15, the girl lived on the streets of Collie and squatted in abandoned houses before living in a caravan and later in a house on Wallsend Street.
Mr Clarke said the girl had a preoccupation with death and experimented with self-harm. Her mood and clothing became darker as her life spiralled out of control.
In the months before the murder, the girl slaughtered two kittens.
Gillian Braddock SC, representing the other teenager, once the dux of her primary school, said her client was not capable of showing remorse.
Ms Braddock said experts identified the root cause of the girl's problems as the tragic death of her mother in a car accident when she was 12. She had never known her father and lived with foster families.
Children's Court president Denis Reynolds will sentence the two girls next month.

Killing kittens? Sounds more like psychopathic behavior. But all in all a very tragic story.

Whenever I see/hear something like this, I have to wonder if this person would have fallen down the same road if mushrooms were the easiest/cheapest thrill.
Based on my own experiences, I rather think the shrooms would tend to steer someone away from wanting to slaughter kittens or strangle a 15yr old. And shrooms are certainly a much safer thrill than heroin or amphetamines.

What a pile of shit this article is. As if her dressing 'gothic' or doing drugs has anything whatsoever to do with her decision to murder someone in cold blood. People make choices, crazy people make crazy choices, this was obviously a crazy bitch.

It's easy to make judgments upon the adolescent and easily influenced. In my opinion, I'd say these kids simply grew up in a very negative environment. Hatred and misery, which are both bred by society, crippled their reason. It's unfortunate actually, and I think if you sent these girls down to the amazon to take some ayahuasca under the guidance of a shaman, they would see the world anew and realize their misunderstanding about themselves and life. Give them some shrooms or something, their troubles need to be faced and released not imprisoned with them. Prison is not a place for the young of mind and body. Then again, who knows...more and more kids are hopeless. And that is my judgment heh.

This is the culture you have surrounded yourself with. There are many groups of people that eat shrooms for different purposes. I know people are consider themselves very "gothic" and use shroom trips to become "darker" people. Shrooms dont change you, you change you and you have to want to change. If you want to change into a more "evil" person, then shrooms can help with that just as much as they can help others with things like depression.

It's their own lawyer that is blaming drug use for her downward spiral. They plan on blaming it all on the evil drugs...

You can get out of quite a few things, or atleast get lesser sentences if you play the "it wasnt me, the drugs took control" card. See, they let that slide because it keeps the coal burning for the war on drugs. If people wouldnt be able to use that in their defense, then the government wouldnt be able to say drugs cause crime.
Ive seen people busted before who swore they would never blame their problems on a drug...but when you are before a judge and you have the option of going to prision, or blaming it on the drug and getting rehab/probation, which are you going to choose? its fucked up, but that is how the system works.

This bitch was fucked up, giving her psychedelics wouldn't have changed anything.
It wasn't the drugs that fucked her in the first place.
