| 715368 | 2008-10-28 17:17:00 | ...Judges in NZ dont value human life enough. ...Maybe its time to forget vigilantism against the offenders, and target a few judges. Scare the rest to get in line As for the offender, yeah this is yet another in the long list of boyracers who race their flash cars and kill yet another pedestrian, all for the sake of pumping up the ego of their 2 inch dick. No point blaming the cops in the end, they go ahead with proceedings, only to have some limp dick judge throw it out, or pass a jokeable sentence. |

| 715369 | 2008-10-28 18:22:00 | I agree with Metla, it's a shame that a killer goes free. Just the other day I had a bad experience from our boys in blue. My daughter was moving flats. Previous landlord threw a hissy fit and kicked her out within 24hrs (I know, he can't but he did). Started to break her furniture (before she could leave). She called cops, so the cop told her to eff off and if she does not shut up, he will arrest her (for what we don't know). Next day, with me there, I learnt that the cop attending was the father of the landlord. Go figure. sarel |

| 715371 | 2008-10-28 20:09:00 | Many years ago I was on a jury where defendant was on a charge of careless use of vehicle causing death. They guy made a mistake, killed his best friend in an accident but was found guilty and got 2 years. He had no previous convictions and there was very little risk of reoffending. Must be a poor sign of the times when this guy gets home detention for what I would say was a far more serious offence. |

| 715373 | 2008-10-28 20:30:00 | It would just move the queues from the Courts to the optician and the dentist. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 715374 | 2008-10-28 20:31:00 | You guys expect too much from judges. Years ago in Christchurch a friend who was a high flying lawyer explained to me that most judges were failed lawyers. He expanded on this by asking what lawyer worth his salt would give up the earnings, freedom to play golf during the working day, look forward to being a senior partner and take a cut from all the junior partners and associates earnings - just to be a public servant on a fixed salary, working office hours and listening to mostly crap from defendants and their lawyers all day. They're like politicians - there for the "status". Do people still bow to them at the start of the working day? | Scouse (83) | ||
| 715375 | 2008-10-28 20:38:00 | Do people still bow to them at the start of the working day? Every time a lawyer enters and exits the courtroom they bow to the judge. Looks comical when they are in a hurry to leave, sort of a twist head / nod / pirouettte. |
