Literally getting away with murder.

Well, manslaughter anyway.

tl;dr - Family in Wainui who killed their niece during a "mataku", found guilty of manslaughter, get 300 hours community service. Yeah, eight weeks litter picking for manslaughter. How long would I get?

And oh how harsh the 'penalty' - pffft!

**Mully** · 14th August 2009, 13:41

Disgusting.
If a dog had done that, the dog would be put down so it couldn't do it again.

Except a dog can't pour water, cos they don't have thumbs.

We were taught that, in the Army.

Apparently this is the first reported time that anybody has died as a consequence of waterboarding.

It must have been a really stubborn demon.

14yr old mentally troubled girl, dies due to the siblings cruelty, and they walk, with the gallery clapping applause.

FFS! NZ justice system, hang your head in shame.

**Murray** · 14th August 2009, 15:30

Living the rest of their lifes in Wainuiomata will be worse than any prison sentence

**XRVrider** · 14th August 2009, 15:30

Jeez, and dont even start me on the Kahui twins. No-one guilty... BULLSHIT!!!!!

**SixPackBack** · 14th August 2009, 15:56

I fail to see an issue....not like they were caught doing 92 in an 80 zone

**Nagash** · 14th August 2009, 16:09

I remember a post was put up not so long ago with a video showing native Africans brutally beating and burning several people who were accused of being witches.

Many people said they were barbaric and were shocked this sort of thing still goes on.

Just gotta look in your own neighbourhood I guess...

I'm truely shocked at what they did, ignoring their sentence which was just bollocks. They picked at her eyes for god's sake.

**rainman** · 14th August 2009, 16:13

Now I'm about the furthest thing you can get to a Sensible Sentencing/David Garrett fanboi... but that verdict sucks.

"all five were to have counselling or assessment for any treatment they might need to address on going issues resulting from the death." WTF? Hope that is just bad journalism.

"Justice Simon France today told the siblings that their understanding and knowledge of their culture was not complete." Yeah, I'd say.

**riffer** · 14th August 2009, 16:27

Meh. It's recognition of Darwin's Law in effect. They wiped out their own family.

Horrible sentencing though. I'm astounded if that's true that the judge commented that them having a different culture would be a mitigating factor in sentencing. That's a clear breach of the Treaty of Waitangi, in which signatories became subject to the laws of this country.

**Slicksta** · 14th August 2009, 17:46

Just another day in NZ eh sad reality of criminals being treated as victims, while there is prison space for the guy who does the odd recreational drug
