Craig Kapitan: NZ Herald court reporter on Golriz Ghahraman's court decision getting reserved

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

Former Green MP Golriz Ghahraman will find out her fate on Thursday. Judge June Jelas has reserved a sentencing decision on shoplifting charges in court today. The Judge has confirmed she won't be imprisoned. NZ Herald court reporter Craig Kapitan says Ghahraman's defence says she was going through a mental health crisis. "A mental health report suggests that she suffered complex PTSD, which was a result of her earlier life in Iran and 'public vitriol, threats and abuse' that dominated her time in Parliament."
