Bridge murder father jailed for life

Regarding the pre-meditation, didn't the Judge actually acknowledge that it WASN'T pre-meditated?

Woot!!!!!! He got LIFE!!!!!

With a no parole period of 32 years.

So he gets an all expenses paid Holiday in prison for the next 30 years, paroled at the age of 67 and then retires to a little town somewhere after everyone's forgotten about him and will claim the old age pension for the rest of his life. Not bad.

Why don't we have sentencing guidelines here that specify life in prison actually means you will die there without any chance of ever getting out? Why also do people get special treatment and put into isolation for their own protection? The victim wasn't protected so why should the offender be?

Put all prisoners into a single facility. Let them do with each other whatever the hell they like!

Guarantee you he will be dead within a few months despite him being chucked into a isolated unit. There will be a time where he comes into contact with the general population and the first chance they get he will be in a bloody pool.

I totally agree with you though, after spending 2 weeks at Barwon (placement) its rediculous how much of a holiday jail actually is. Hard time, puuuhhhlease.

Oh dear.....

SAM Newman has revealed he "feels sorry" for evil dad Arthur Freeman calling on the public to feel some compassion for the West Gate Bridge monster.

On his regular MTR radio spot this morning Newman told host Steve Price that he felt sorry for Freeman who was yesterday sentenced to life behind bars.

Newman prefaced his comments by saying he knew they would spark outrage.

"I feel sorry for Arthur Freeman," he said. "Hatred and anger and revenge are a dreadful thing and that man has just paid the absolute correct penalty – if we had capital punish he probably would have been hanged," Newman said.

Oh dear.....

What's wrong with feeling sorry for him?

Everything CSP. The man threw his daughter off a bridge because he was angry at his ex wife and the family court.

I can't get past what that poor little girl must have gone through until the moment of her death.

I simply cannot dredge any sympathy up for this man.

Fair enough.
