WTF!
The defence lawyer for the nasty robber who, armed with a knife attacked a service station manager in a robbery attempt, used the excuse that Turia (the robber) suffered from privilege as well as under-privilege that led to his actions.
Talk about having a bob each way.
HOME DETENTION FOR KNIFE WIELDING ROBBER
Waugh, the lawyer told the court Turia was on the cusp of two different worlds before his birth, one of systemic deprivation and one of privilege which led to him being told he wasn't a real Māori.
Fuck!The judge listened to all this nonsense and the submissions from Turia's influential relatives before sentencing him to home detention.
The method of getting to the 10 months home detention sentence is laughable:
"Judge Edwards began with a sentence starting point of four years' imprisonment but after discounts for his early guilty plea, genuine remorse, and previous good character it was reduced to 20 months' imprisonment.
Because the sentence was below the two-year threshold making it eligible for home detention, Turia was ultimately given a 10-month home detention sentence."
If the judge had carried on any further she'd be saying that the Crown owes Turia a couple of years of false imprisonment and suggested that he gets paid compensation.
Ridiculous.

Yeah, crazy.
I think your emotions are getting the better of you. It reminds me of the parable Jesus told of the man that was forgiven him all his debts but demanded retribution to the last cent of the other person that owed him money.
The court system is elected by us to give justice. Let them do their job.

Robert,
The court system is failing the public when criminals with knives attack shopkeepers in a planned and premeditated attack and then, through family influence get preferential treatment and a very minimal sentence.
Leave your silly Jesus quotes out of this.
What happened to the 'slippers' post?
Come to think of it, there's absolutely no rush.
None at all.
Too late.
