Jailed Melbourne hoons win cut on appeal
What the chop?
The justice system is absolutely screwed up!
This Rooke idiot should be rotting in jail for atleast 25 years.
If I had my way, manslaughter jail terms would be the difference between the life expectancy of someone and they age they were when they where killed.
Thoughts?
On a lighter note, that's terrible, the driver should be jailed for a lot longer.
ROFL
I went straight for that hairy girl picture as well!
haha poor kid
I think the sentence is fair.
this bullshit about diminished responsiblity is rubbish. if you take drugs, drink alcohol, speed.... or any other action, and then kill someone.... why the #### should you get a lesser sentence? no one forced you to speed or drink or take drugs!!!
thats the problem with our bloody laws.... dont worry about taking responsibility for your actions, here's an excuse why you arent charged with manslaughter in killing a 15yo kid.
I dont understand the distinction? Why isnt it manslaughter?Both men were found guilty by a Victorian County Court jury of dangerous driving causing death and three counts of dangerous driving causing serious injury.
They killed someone accidently as a direct result of their actions.... the kid didnt spontaneously die!
1 yr jail for the driver.... can you imagine how the parents of the dead kid felt about that?
This shit makes my blood boil.
It's like that chick in Canberra who stabbed a guy 8 times while on top of him 'in self defence'.... got off scott free because she claimed rape. Bloody pathetic laws.... too many loop holes.... too many injustices.
People get away with less for some pretty ####ed up crimes.
I agree Jesterarts, its a damn joke, manslaughter( i thought) was killing someone whilst commiting another illgeal act.
It has happened before, will happen again.
The only time they will act on it is when it happens to Tony Abbot's daughter, or someelse in the crridoors of power in Canberra.
