Baby Jason's last moments at hands of his drunk mum

Baby Jason was only seven-months old when his drunk mother got behind the wheel of her car and started to speed.
Racquel Haina Kiwi had spent the afternoon drinking beer, spirits and socialising with friends at Mount Maunganui last April 22 when she picked up her son and got into her Nissan Bluebird about 4pm.
Three other people decided to go with Kiwi to collect her partner from work and one held Jason Farrell on their lap in the back seat while Kiwi reversed down the driveway - knocking over a letter box as she went.
But as she sped along SH29 towards Maungatapu Bridge at 120km/h and twice the legal alcohol limit, she lost control and hit the back of another vehicle. Her car crossed the centreline into oncoming traffic, hit a barrier on the opposite side of the road and slammed into the path of a Mercedes Benz.
The 69-year-old driver of that car had to hospitalised and received bruising to the chest.
Kiwi's front seat passenger suffered a lacerated liver and fractured foot bones, while the back-seat passengers had bruising and lacerations, whiplash and chipped teeth.
Kiwi fractured her collarbone and had multiple lacerations. Baby Jason died of extreme internal injuries while being taken to hospital by ambulance.
The accident also closed SH29 for 4 1/2 hours and brought rush-hour traffic in Tauranga to a standstill.
Yesterday, the 25-year-old unemployed Kiwi stood in the dock at Tauranga District Court and pleaded guilty to five driving charges resulting from crash.
Through her lawyer, Craig Horsley, she admitted one charge of driving with excess blood alcohol causing death, and four of driving with excess blood alcohol causing injury when she appeared in front of Judge Louis Bidois.
A blood test after the accident showed that Kiwi had a blood alcohol level of 172mg per 100 millilitres of blood.
The legal limit is 80mg.
As police outlined the events of that day, Kiwi stood sideways in the dock, visibly upset.
On the day of the accident, she had taken all three of her pre-school aged children to an address in Mount Maunganui and left two there.
Baby Jason, tucked in a carrycot, went with his mother and four of her friends to a nearby liquor store where they bought alcohol.
Kiwi then drove to several different homes, drinking and socialising along the way.
At 4pm she asked her friends if they would come with her to pick up her partner from work.
Three of them got into her car. One took baby Jason from his carrycot on the dining room table and held him on her lap in the back seat.
It was to be the last few moments of the child's life.
Mr Horsley said his client accepted that she would be sent to jail but he asked Judge Bidois if Kiwi could be granted bail on compassionate grounds before she is sentenced next month.
He said a family member had been taken ill and was to have an operation at Tauranga Hospital yesterday.
But Judge Bidois said the nature of the charges and the fact that she would be sentenced to a jail term meant he had no choice but to remand her in custody.
In explanation for the accident, Kiwi said she was in a hurry to pick up her partner for work as she was running late.
Kiwi will be sentenced in February.
