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”? :hmmm:
