Veitch sentenced

That's got to be the best time to introduce new legislation.

Thank you, nice to see SOMEBODY has the same logical line of thought!

For some reason I thought of Piggy Muldoon.
Dunno why.............

Ask yourself:

If he had killed her with one blow to the head would he have been penalised the same?

No?

So he is being penalised at a ratio of blows per second or something?

So if logic rules then ANY homicide should result in the same penalty?

Or something....

OK, my stepson is here from Aussie with his doris and we have been drinking Makers Mark.

The thing with judicial system is the judge giving the sentance is pretty much the sole adjudecator on time frame.Whether one shot,stab or hit,it is still a death caused by someone.So if the judge has idea I'll send this arsehole away for years so be it,likewise if he/she decides I'll go lightly on him they can(within legislation of minimum terms),no consistancy really,mind you sentances are getting to be longer non parole.Still 18 years is cold comfort to Elliotts when Weatherston is released in time,his life goes on,albeit what state of mind then.

I can only imagine that they feel any comfort at all. Besides having their daughter mudrdered in front of the mum, they had to listen to the MURDERER trash their defenseless and dead daughter. 18 years is not justice. Life without parole for murderers! NZ is too soft on crime; hence there are so many victims... FUCK CRIMS!!!!

It would not be logical or fair if any homicide resulted in the same penalty.

Whataspooner is a dickless dick.
Remorse? Pffftt!!

Getting your lawyer to say, "he said he had been thinking about the horrendous thing that happened" is not remorse.
Saying, "I was thinking about what an evil cunt I am, and I'm very sorry for what I did to that poort girl, how I trashed her name, and I'm terribly sorry for all the hurt, distress, and anguish I've caused, and the cost to the taxpayer", then hanging himself - THAT would be remorse.

How come Clayton took over this thread? There's a special thread which I dug for him at the same time as this (jrandoms thread)
