    Just curious: how much is Stephen Hohepa McDonald paying the family?

    From the sentencing report:

    "McDonald led police on a high-speed chase throughout Auckland in stolen cars, shooting a sawn-off shotgun along the way.

    McDonald admitted charges including firing at police, possessing a firearm, aggravated robbery, and unlawfully getting into a motor vehicle.


    Justice Harrison on Tuesday imposed a minimum non-parole period of eight years.
    He says the facts of the case speak for themselves, and McDonald - not police - is responsible for Naitoko's death."

    Kewl.

    The crucial issue is the offender (McDonald) endangered the public, and fired at police. In law that makes him liable for reasonably foreseeable consequences which in this case, not to put too fine a point on it, includes police shooting back. Who knew?!

    In other jurisdictions unhampered by ACC McDonald would have been sued by the family.
