Jailed Woman’s Home Detention Bid Fails

Corbie Jean Walpole, aged 24, set her longtime friend Jake Loader on fire at her Howlong home in January 2024, causing severe burns.
The attack followed a night of heavy drinking and antagonism, fueled by Loader's misogynistic comments and Walpole's intoxication from cocaine and alcohol.
Loader sustained third-degree burns to 55 percent of his body and spent 74 days hospitalized, including eight days in a medically induced coma and 10 surgeries.
Walpole pleaded guilty to burning by corrosive fluid, was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years with a minimum of four-and-a-half, and the judge rejected provocation claims.
The court described the case as tragic for both families, underscoring the violence fueled by drugs and alcohol, with Walpole showing remorse and rehabilitation prospects.
