Dianne Brimble was drugged, coroner finds | News.com.au
Three men were charged over Ms Brimble's death, including Mark Wilhelm, in whose cabin her naked body was found and with whom she'd had sex.
A manslaughter charge against Wilhelm was dropped earlier this year but he pleaded guilty to supplying the drug to Ms Brimble.
Mr Wilhelm's sentencing judge stressed that Ms Brimble had taken the drug voluntarily and "did so under the influence of alcohol and therefore, in no way was (Wilhelm) responsible for the effects of the drug on Ms Brimble".
But Mr Brimble said today's finding - that his ex-wife unknowingly took the drug - was the one that mattered.
"History will now show the findings of the coroner should be interpreted as the truth of the matter," he said.

These criminals killed a women and their sentence did not fit the crime.
Do women statistically have equal representation in the jury? Is the selection process fair? What kind of justice does a women have in our courts today?
