Eight years three months for trying to kill a guy twice!

1192797 2011-04-07 08:08:00 Yep. Cheap NZ justice again.. Considering the max penalty is 14 Years for attempted murder. We need a couple of polies or judges to be murdered or attacked before anything will change in NZ.. Why not make it an instant fine?? paulw (1826)
1192798 2011-04-07 08:10:00 It does appear to be yet another case of a judge bending over backwards to be unduly lenient, citing age etc, when the maximum sentence could have been justifiably 14 years.

Many would argue that 14 years would have been too lenient

1192799 2011-04-07 08:23:00 I can't believe this creep returned and asked "are you dead yet". Some of these judges need to enter the real world and give appropriate sentences. Pato (2463)

I know there is no point in pointing out again but Judges are constrained by the law and couldn't hand out the maximum sentence even if they wanted to. See your MP if you think sentences should be longer.

1192804 2011-04-07 11:20:00 I was thinking about writing about this to my uni magazine. And posting here about this too.

I find it spectacular that the Italian primeminister could be up for (i think it was) 12 years for simply banging a 17 year old, while here an 18 year old gets away with not attempted murder, but so-close-to-murder-might-as-well-call-it-that and gets 4 years (because we know that our justice system will let him out in 4 years)

new zealand, you are PATHETIC.

Or that. Yeah, let's go with Cic's idea.
