FOX: An Australian woman who injured two people during a convenience store ax attack has been convicted of attempted murder after jurors reportedly rejected her argument that she was suffering from a mental episode caused by medications she was taking to transition from male to female.
Evie Amati, 26, was found guilty Friday for the unprovoked 2017 attack in Sydney and will face sentencing in September, according to the BBC.
“I really hope that [Amati] is able to have some sort of rehabilitation because ultimately that’s what justice is about,” Sharon Hacker, a victim who suffered a fractured skull in the attack, told reporters following the verdict.
On January 7 last year, Amati was captured on surveillance video walking into a 7-Eleven store carrying an ax around 2 a.m. local time.
She walked up to a man waiting in line at the cash register, later identified as Ben Rimmer, and talked to him briefly before swinging the ax at him, the BBC reported. Rimmer fell to the ground with a facial wound and fractures, while Hacker was then attacked near the door. MORE
let me axe you a question.
7-11 downunder? are they run by apu’s too?
would you like a squishie.
dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap.

She had an ax to grind.
@Inigo – Down Under I think they’re called 11-Ls.
Don’t ax her if she’s really a man.
of course it was a mental condition
@Uncle Al
you’re sharp and make a good point, i didn’t think about that.
i’ll have to be sharper before i axe next time.

If someone walks into a business carrying an Axe…I’m not going to be
exchanging Pleasantries …Especially if they look like Dee Snider
from Twisted Sister…
whatever the medications are that he was taking, they should be stopped while he is incarcerated. He has already acknowledged, in a court of law, that they cause him to be violent.
“I really hope that [Amati] is able to have some sort of rehabilitation because ultimately that’s what justice is about,” Sharon Hacker, a victim who suffered a fractured skull.
Yeah, Amati needs rehab like Hacker needs a hole in her head.
@kermit. The likely reason the report put in “[Amati]” is because the person who was quoted said “he” and the paper wouldn’t dare print that
So many jokes that write themselves, you’ll never hear them, on late night misery TV or SNDead.
The crazy bastard was confused about what he had down under.
So hormones (which don’t belong to a male) drove this guy nuts. Sure, he had some alcohol, but unless that alcohol is running through his veins 24/7 365, I’m gonna give the tie to the hormones. lol.
Anybody who gets a “sex change” op is just not into self-acceptance. Bigly.

It’s just like confusing summer with winter and winter with summer. Them ozzies are just nuts.
This is what gun control gets you. If this happened where I live that thing would’ve been shot dead.
