Believes that Mrs falls claims of abuse no one would believe.

"As the case progressed, more and more witnesses would come forward and give evidence about what they'd seen or heard. It certainly verified her version."

Rodney's brother Mr Van Donsealaar is strongly against how  Mrs Falls was released without prison time. He quoted  "My brother was killed but apparently that's not a crime," Shows how he did not interpret the violence and abuse he was going to inflict onto Mrs Falls and her children.

The defence out lined in S304B of the Criminal Code Act 1899 shouldn’t be applied murder is still murder.

"While his mother doesn't believe Rodney Falls was an abusive husband – "I should know, I lived with him," she said outside the court this week – a cast of people said otherwise"

She believed that her son was a nice man and had doubts about Susan’s claims to the abuse. she had lived with him for 15 years and never had a doubt that he was going to be abusive. She was against the outcome

"Susan Falls was in a uniquely dreadful set of circumstances and because of the specific threats which she faced she was entitled to use lethal force to protect herself and her family"

Mr Hunter said when the Centrelink funds went into Mrs Falls’ account, Mr Falls used her card and PIN to withdraw the cash.

He said Centrelink were only prosecuting Mrs Falls over about $38,000 in overpayments, but she had chosen to repay the full amount of $78,284 using funds she earned for magazine and TV interviews in the wake of her acquittal.

"Because mostly they feel as Mrs Falls felt, there was no escape. Restraining orders don't usually have much effect," she said.

"[In Mrs Falls' case] the threat involved other people. She may be able to make herself safe, but could she make her children safe, her mother and father and her sister and her sister's family?"

She believes that Susan couldn't escape the trauma she went through and that she wanted to protect her family.

Mrs Kilroy's perspective of the issue is that she doesn't agree that Mrs falls should have taken the life of her husband Rodney but isn't defending the actions of him but she says that the outcome of the case shows that there is justice for abused women out there.
