    Well for a start get the cunt made sterile,that way he can't breed more wankers,preferably castrated from the neck.

    Guilty as for him yep death penalty,as his partner knows he did it,not like others who have circumstantial evidence.

    But we are told smacking kids is bad,yep beating the snot out of anyone is to much force,a small open hand slap on a kids bum isn't,this is also different to an open hand whack a person gives their partner.

    Failing that let him loose on the army's land area with a pair of jandels,shorts and hoodie in -6deg temp maximum,maybe 8-10 hours walk from civilisation,he'd die a nice slow hypothermic death,only bad thing towards the end he wouldn't feel it.

    I'd prefer to lock them and throw the key.

    Also the tax payer does not foot the bill... their possessions are sold to cover this if possible.
    dont you mean their stolen possessions in some cases?

    From my own observation I would never choose trial by jury in NZ!

They are sociopaths who have absolutly no understanding of the harm and damage they do and simply dont care. I'm not talking about the Scott Watsons (I believe guilty) or the David Banes (guilty) these are potentially one off killers. (2 / 5) but of with the repeat murderers, whats wrong with letting them hang?
    Took the words outta my mouth.

    Pricks who commit violent offences and then reoffend and reoffend and reoffend till the end of time....should be put down. They prove time and time again that they have no respect for anything and anyone, that they are prepared to hurt and injure others...fuck em - nighty night sweetheart.

    I think I'd be ok about handing that down if I had to sit on a jury for one these scum....have I mentioned that I still have yet to be called for jury service?

    Just a point of clarification here.
    David Dougherty was not proven innocent.
    The reason he didn't get compensation.
    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.

    Wrong fully imprisoned, conviction quashed, another man found guilty, compensation was given. Bad example.

    August 1999: Grieve asks for further DNA tests on the crime scene samples.

    June 2000: The new DNA tests, carried out in Tasmania, show a clear profile of another man.

    November 2000: Grieve finds Dougherty has proven his innocence on the balance of probabilities and recommends he receive compensation.

    Mr Grieve QC concluded that Mr Dougherty’s has established his innocence to the required standard.
    David Dougherty was convicted in 1993 on charges of abduction and sexual violation by rape of a girl then aged 11. He was acquitted on retrial in 1997. The Government has now accepted, following a report by Mr Stuart Grieve, QC, that Mr Dougherty is innocent of these charges and that his eligibility for compensation for wrongful conviction and imprisonment has been established,” Mr Goff said.


    July 2001: The government announces a payout of $868,728 to Dougherty and apologises to him.

    May 2003: Nicholas Reekie is found guilty of the 1992 rape and abduction of Dougherty's neighbour.

    Wrongfully convicted, and proven innocent by DNA. Compensation paid by the then Govt.
