Willis, 36, and Rawnsley, 26, sat side-by-side as they appeared via audio-video feed at Papakura District Court. Police approached Willis and Rawnsley in Wānaka on the afternoon of Saturday, September 11, after receiving a tip through the Covid-19 online compliance tool a day earlier. Judge Davidson referred to that apology on Tuesday as he considered their sentence. But she didn't appear to take much convincing, Judge Davidson responded. "This is not a priority proceeding," Judge Davidson wrote in separate minutes announcing delays in October and November.
