A euthanasia advocate revealed before she took her own life, one of the reasons she killed herself was because she felt bullied by the legal process after being found guilty over the manslaughter of her friend.
Caren Jenning was due to be sentenced next month after a jury found the 75-year-old illegally brought the euthanasia drug Nembutal back into the country for her friend who suffered from dementia.
Last week, after a battle with cancer, Jenning ended her life by taking the same drug.
Today a statement prepared by Jenning has been released. She described the high-profile prosecutor in her case as a "bully boy", adding she also felt harrassed by police.
She said it influenced her decision to end her life.
Friend and Exit International Founder Dr Phillip Nitschke said Jenning thought she had been bullied in the courtroom and the jury's decision had been affected.
"She made it clear when she was talking to me that she felt that she'd been bullied during the process and that ultimately lead to a miscarriage of justice."
"She thought the trial had not reached a correct conclusion and out of that came the very distinct possibility of a custodial sentence."
He said Jenning also felt the process of police investigation was draining and damaging to her health.
"She was subjected to phone taps and she had her house raided and searched," Dr Nitschke said.
"She felt that she had been under quite vigorous investigation and that also had been something that she had not responded well too."
