Jason Reihana is in prison serving a non-parole period of 21 years for the brutal murder of the mother of his two sons and her new partner.
Since being in jail, Reihana has been diagnosed with leukaemia and the treatment he requires will cost $1 million. This will include a six week stay in Auckland Hospital followed by 18 months of out-patient care.
There are divided opinions on this case. On one hand in NZ we do not inflict further punishment on our prisoners and as a human being he ought to be entitled to receive necessary health care, without judgement. However others feel that because of what he has done and the fact that he has shown no remorse, that he should not be entitled to treatment.
What do you think?
