Thread: Another disappointing sentence

I think the judges hands were tied, because the criminal had no previous convictions, etc. etc. - in fact before the offending, they were fit and proper. My understanding is that counts towards significant discounts, along with remorse, upbringing, blah, blah... and if the final sentence is less than two years in jail, then it can be served as home detention by default. The system is definitely broken, and the rules really need to be looked at in terms of the victims, and whether the court has delivered proper justice.
