I don’t understand.

[Crisis63]

Can someone please explain?


Yesterday the District Court made Barnard eligible for release in just 18 months because of his poor heath and risk of becoming institutionalised.
Barnard, 77, of Ferryden Park, struck a plea bargain with prosecutors under which he confessed to two of 13 child sex offence charges.
He admitted twice abusing Jean, while visiting her home, between 1979 and 1982.
Barnard's criminal history dates back to 1957, when he indecently assaulted a child, and includes offences in the late 1980s.
The paedophile also spent 33 years in Glenside Hospital for mental health issues.
In sentencing yesterday, Judge Paul Rice said doctors believed Barnard's paedophilia "was in remission".
However, they had warned he still posed "a significant risk to children" without counselling and treatment.
Judge Rice said a long jail term would be especially harsh.
He said it would worsen Barnard's mobility issues and depression, while heightening the risk of institutionalisation.
He imposed a jail term of five years and four months, and made Barnard eligible for parole in May 2013.No justice for being killed as person | Adelaide Now

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about “Barnards mobility issues and depression, or risk of institutionalisation”?

[Rufys]

This is why abolishing the death penalty was a BAD idea.

[DAKSTER]

Maybe the judge is part of the same paedophile support group? A long jail term isn't harsh enough.

Tie one end of a length of fine high tensile wire to a small potato. Immobilise him and shove the whole potato down his throat. Keep him immobilised until the potato comes out the other end, then pull both ends of the wire until its completely straight.

Then, while he is screaming and dying with his entrails sliced to ribbons inside him, ask him if he is sorry for what he has done.

Yeah, I don't understand that in todays courts. They take someones quality of life and discomfort into consideration when giving sentences. Meanwhile the scumbag gave no second thought to what he was doing to his victims.

Pieces of shit like are treaded like bigger victims than the victims of their crimes!

[Pete_perth]

May he rot in hell for the misery he so easily dispensed on children. I don't give a crap about how he feels or the quality of his life - quite frankly I hope it just gets worse and worse for this scumbag. Let's hope his mental health deterioates to the point that he takes his own life. I bet the bastard will be smiling and laughing as he heads for the nearest playgound if he is let out early.

Lol, you put a bit of thought into that…

[Crisis63]

And while he deserves to be punished for what he has done how is there an ounce of logic in releasing him if he is not fully rehabilitated. I mean he is not a shoplifter. The consequences of his reoffended are totally unacceptable. I cant explain the level of contempt I have for our legal system. My mistakes I make in my employment I am accountable for. Judges mistakes are far more costly and they should also be held to account.

[minux]

Hmm, can i be charged for slander/defamation if I were to insinuate that the judge enjoys what the criminal enjoys?

I cannot see why else you would let some scum bag rock spider get away with something like this. Perhaps some severe Sharia law wouldnt be so bad in this country...sin with your dick and it is cut off. In this case, just cut the ####s head off and save us all from these filthy perverted ####s.

[ClairBear]

Can someone please explain?

I really wish I could. There is no rational logic in sentancing.

Reformed paedophile my arse!

Worsen the poor old man's depression hey? What about the life time of mental suffering he inflicted on his victims?

[minux]

What about the life time of mental suffering he inflicted on his victims?

You mean the criminals aren't the victims?

Hmm the way sentencing was done these days and how police handle matters I thought the crims were always the victims.

[the_trademarc]

The issue is that the Lawyers that are hired to represent this scum have a responsibility to provide a fair and reasonable trial...i.e. make the defendant look like a victim as much as possible. And the precedents that are set as a result just contradict a lot of our Legal System, therefore you get more and more conservative decisions to avoid the possibility of a defendant being acquitted because of an unfair trail.

It sucks and I agree, the Death Penalty will straighten a lot of people up, but the issue is the whole concept of 'fair and reasonable' trial will commence again and we will just go in circles.

The one thing I appreciate about Sharia Law is their 'eye-for-an-eye' punishments. I wouldn't mind seeing this come back

[STEEV888]

PROBLEM SOLVED.

[87RB30VL]

I'd post something but it might be too graphic for some people and get deleted, so I'll just say I hope he ends up in jail for life. Prisoners HATE sex offenders, especially child sex offenders.

Lame, I know, but meh, in my head I've already figured out where I'll dump the body

[s_ikari2015]

Prisoners HATE sex offenders, especially child sex offenders.

Agreed. Put him in general prison population and let "nature" run its course.

[Drawnnite]

he would be worse off under the current single pension then in jail afterall.

just think about it....

Anyone up for a cruise to this scumbags place of residence????

Please bring baseball/cricket bat, a shovel, lime and/or acid, Acetylene/Oxy Torch or chainsaw for the cutting up duties and something to eat & drink.

I have a bag of lime and the cricket bat. Am I in?

[Ian Johnston]

The "system" will let him out, and when, not if, he re offends, they wont take responsibility for what he does.
It happens far too much with welfare departments as well, no one wants to take the blame.

Let him rot.

The death penalty is not the answer, there are some inside that shouldnt be there, and plenty on the outside who should be there.
Judges, and lawyers come to mind.

[Reaper]

I don't support the death sentence for such people but IMO life is very much deserved. The world has moved on from the old "chain gangs" of the deep south of America in times gone by however I have no issue with people in such situations having nothing more to look forward to than a lifetime of hard boring labour within the same boring walls day in, day out for as long as they live. Many of these judges these days are soooo far out of touch it's not funny. They think they are above the rest of society when really the complete opposite needs to be the case.

The legal system must remain independent and owes every defendant a fair trial, nomatter how much the lynch mob may say otherwise. That said, if guilt is proven, penalties should reflect community standards and expectations. Sadly, many (me included) have no faith in our legal system what so ever and IMO that is entirely deserved.

Let him rot at an annual cost of probably more than a 1/4 million ? I don't think so.

Prisoners like these are especially expensive, as they need to be segregated and protected from the general prison population. In most if not all prisons, there are separate high security rock spider sections which the rest of the prison population cant access.

He will never be rehabilitated. Its a disease. Its a particularly unique disease in that it causes the sufferer no harm, only those he comes into contact with.

The death penalty is a fine line, you have to get it right. In cases where there is absolutely no doubt, as opposed to reasonable doubt, I think there is a case for it. Its a shame some of these even get to court, Martin Bryant from the Port Arthur massacre killed 36 (?) people and the cops saw him doing it. He shouldn't have been taken alive, his prison will cost us 400k annually for the rest of his life.

Sick puppies like this guy are repeat offenders. He has spent half his life in jail, but when he gets out he just looks for another victim. There is no doubt he did it, and no chance of rehabilitation. String him up, save us a bunch of cash or some new kids getting scarred for life. Of course, if the guy gets caught again he will never get out.. so that increases the chance of him killing too. The penalty doesn't go up but the witness is gone.. he has nothing to lose.

I think the rock spider deserves the death penalty, not his next victim.

[aaronevolution]

How about a good old fashioned public stoning.

[m1lky]

It's where the yanks have it right.

Prison shouldn't be a nice place it's designed to be a punishment. And life should be life.

Ozzie prisons are probably the same, but nz prisons have underfloor heating, satellite tv etc etc

[Shorty33]

quote: "Prisoners HATE sex offenders, especially child sex offenders."
- that's a myth that comforts everyone who is NOT in prison. We'd like to think that it's true, so when we are told that it is true, we want to beleive ...
It is a myth propogated by defence lawyers, who use it to persuade courts to allow offenders to be "treated" outside prison, instead of being punished inside prison.
AS I understand it, everyone in prison, is there for a reason. The only class that is universally despised are informers, eg. the late Carl WILLIAMS.

[detox_nath83]

same as with this Dennis Ferguson Ped.... they put him next to a school once he was released like.. r they full quid????

these maggots should have the fingernails pulled then thrown in a small dark cell no light, HARD walls and no human contact and forgotten about until they smash their own heads in. they dont deserve any right to live in our society.
