| 721149 | 2008-11-18 06:14:00 | Generally speaking the offender(s) should get a life sentence for murder but circumstances alter cases. I would certainly make prisons a place that people would not want to go to. For example if I came home and found my wife being raped by a lowlife and I accidently hit him too hard thereby causing his death I would hope the court would deal with me with some leniency. What of the people who must have known about the child abuse and stood by and did nothing? I am all for the death penalty in most cases but what of people who have been convicted via perjury or false evidence? Ask Arthur Allen Thomas or David Bain what they think maybe. |

| 721150 | 2008-11-18 06:24:00 | They are all to blame, and I think the mother of that poor little girl should take all the blame. She didn't protect her from those other bastards and she didn't love and care for her and she should get life too and be spayed! LL |

| 721152 | 2008-11-18 07:07:00 | So... they're found guilty. And the rest of us are sentenced to pay their board and lodgings for x-y-z years. If they must be detained (instead of shot), at least let it be on a chain gain building a twenty lane plus rail Cook Strait tunnel with picks, shovels and wheelbarrows. Their sentence could end when the tunnel is finished. |

| 721153 | 2008-11-18 07:11:00 | Killing a child, Life. Normally, yes. But, in the case of the demise of WMG, the sentence could be altered to a complementary chocolate fish and free petrol for a year. ;) |

| 721154 | 2008-11-18 07:15:00 | While I am not trying to justify anything that these people have done - it was nothing less than brutal - I don't think that anyone can truly understand the frustrations one puts up with bringing up children until you have brought up children of your own. I can understand how you can be that frustrated that you take it out on the one seemingly causing your frustration. I can understand it. It is so hard when children do all they can to wear you down - and they do. Smack them, yes. And you do so, often harder than you should have, but on the bum, nowhere else. Smacking a child around the head is bad enough but there is no excuse for kicking them on the head or anywhere on their bodies. That type of behaviour can only be premeditated. I smacked both my children and they don't appear to have suffered at all, but the punishment we found most effective was to take away privileges. When adults, both my children agreed that they preferred a smack on the bum to the removal of privileges as the former hurt but was not long lasting whereas the latter could last for days. The trouble with even a 30 year sentence for these animals is that they will possibly only serve 10. What type of justice is that? 30 years should mean 30 years! |

| 721155 | 2008-11-18 07:37:00 | And i misheard the TV apparently, half studying half listening.. doesn't always come out well :o It is easy to get conviction and sentence confused, particularly with murder. Conviction is the process that follows a defendant being found guilty (prior to the guilty verdict they are referred to as the defendant; after the guilty verdict they can be referred to as the offender cos their guilt has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt) and the judge enters a conviction against their name. Once they are found guilty, the judge usually asks for pre-sentence reports (maybe a psych report as well) and makes a decision about what the sentence should be. There is only one sentence for murder, which is life imprisonment (prior to 1961 there was the option of the death sentence), so in the old days it was handed down upon conviction. However, thank goodness, nowadays judges can order a particular non parole period, so they ask for pre sentence reports to help in decision making. Prior to that, people with life sentences were often released after 8 or 10 years, I can't recall which, but I know the public was outraged. I think the minimum life sentence now is 10 years, but the judge can extend that by stating a non parole minimum. |

| 721156 | 2008-11-18 07:39:00 | Its sort of beyond belief someone can kick in a 3 years head. I only hope the country has once and for all had enough, and will report abuse instead of turning the sounds up or ignoring it. The neigbours where the key to stopping this tragedy and they did nothing. It dosent matter how long they are sentenced they will get let out early thanks to our sick parole system. Death sentence is so yesterday and not an option any more thank Christ. Quite a few people in NZ who were found guilty of murder were subsequentialy found to be innocent. And until they could be brought back to life the death penalty sucks, If I was the beak I would sentence all of them to 30 years and no parole. |
