The family of Lauren Huxley says they hope her attacker gets a lengthy jail sentence.
Robert Black Farmer has been found guilty of bashing Lauren and dousing her with petrol at the family's Northmead home in November 2005.
Lauren's dad, Pat, has told 2GB’s Ray Hadley his daughter almost died and her life will never be the same.
“She spent 23 days in intensive care,” he said.
"Now in my book, for someone who’s done that to a perfectly healthy person who’s just walking the streets right now or sitting back listening to this - 23 years would be appropriate.”
