Veitch sentenced

[discotex]

But one tango partner rarely, if ever, breaks the other's back. Please try and keep some perspective here. I don't care how much Veitch may have been taunted. He could have killed a defenseless woman. He is lucky he's not in jail.

Ok lets try and keep some perspective rather than buying into media hype.

1. The series of events that lead to her injuries and their extent are not known or proven in a court of law. They are media leaks. For all you and I know the injuries may have been accidental and/or in self defense.

2. Women are not defenseless. That is a myth and women need to be empowered to fight for their lives or be empowered to leave an abusive relationship.

3. There is no doubt that this situation could have been prevented had either party disengaged at an earlier point.

4. Your average person convicted of the same charges would get off with a slap of the wrist. Why should he be treated any differently?


Passing judgment on either party without all the facts is impossible and only leads to a bigoted viewpoint.

What's the bet that he gets his 150K back through anti-violence ads.

hes to crafty for that, he would donate any earnings from the ads (that will happen) to woman's refuge.

What ever the story she most likely asked for it

what a fucking load of shit.

actually they have been officially released to the media.
he did seem to try to remove himself from the situation by going for a drive to ??? beach to chill out. returned hoping she had left but unfortunately she was still there. a lot of yelling went on in the bed room, he tried to leave she blocked his way (while laying on the floor) in a fit of rage he kicked her. bla bla bla more talking ... 4 hours later she got up to go to the toilet and was in pain so he drove her to the hospital. the rest is pretty well known.
at the end of the day it doesnt really matter, he kicked her in the back!

They don't have to be. Veitch pleaded guilty, was convicted and charged.

Your "average" person can't afford high-powered lawyers and would probably be doing jail time for such an offence. I'm not talking about what we do or don't know based on what's reported, just on the basis of the charge on which Veitch was convicted.

Irrespective of what led him to viciously assault a former partner, Veitch is now a convicted criminal and should expect to carry the baggage that goes with that. Trying to shift the blame or to hound media who may have printed things he disagrees with does him no credit.

I watched some of the media types that do the employing on TV tonight.

Seems no one is ruling out a comeback for Veitch.

Yep, you are right. Kicking someone when they're down. This guy is another total tool. I thought she came across much better on Campbell than he did too.

Didnt see her or him,didnt see any need after hearing that he admitted giving her a hiding.Cant believe anyone would find it excusable no matter what,as i posted before i sincerely hope someone gives him a smack,that he will understand.

1. They dont have to be, he has admitted them.

2. Some women in relationships are reduced to a helpless state, I agree they need to be empowered to fight back, the question is how when they simply cant see a way out of where they are.

3. Either party "disengage" shows your lack of understanding of abusive relationships mate. The one who OWNS the relationship is not likely, even under threat of jail time, to give up the POWER, he will fight and manipulate and bully, and cry, and blubber and threaten suicide before giving up the control. As far as the non-owner goes, they will have to build a shit load of self esteem before they can begin to "disengage".

4. Passing judgement is easy now in this instance, I personally have seen Veitch face a press conference and admit he "lashed out", he regrets his actions, and has paid for loss of earnings and medical treatment for his ex. Today we have had him plead guilty to assulting his ex. It happened, we dont need all the facts. The facts are he bashed his ex. You can not deny it happend surely?

[BuFfY]

Is he married again now? Or was he married when he was seeing this other lady? I wonder if he has hit/kicked/lashed out at his current partner.

[jrandom]

I still, quite honestly, haven't figured out why anyone cares about this.

I rode past Veitch and the media scrum outside the Auckland District Court today. If I hadn't been in a mild hurry I might've stopped to see if anything lulz-worthy was being said.

And maybe said hi to me mum in front of one of the TV cameras.

Sometimes the general idiocy of our society depresses me. Just a little bit.

He got married after he beat her up but before it all became public.
