Judges in a World of Their Own.

I am going to rant, a quick and short one.

Judges! So many of them seem to live on another planet, their judgments are a joke. They don’t seem to be part of reality.

One judge Clive Wall, QC, who actually handed down a sentence that seemed to be fair (I thought a little lenient) has had his judgment deemed `patently manifestly excessive' by a halfwit, no common sense off the planet judge going by the name of Justice Debra Mullins.

District Court judge Clive Wall, QC, sentenced a piece of crap known as Ronald Anthony Neilson to an 8 year prison term (4 years for each crime to be served cumulatively) but eligible for parole after 4 years. (I thought this was too generous.)

Two groups of people walking through an area and apparently Neilson’s group started hassling some females in the other group. A fight broke out.

Neilson’s crime was he gets a metal bar from a shopping trolley and hits his first victim in the face. The victim had his skull fractured in three places and now carries ten permanent metal plates.

Neilson then knocks another victim to the ground and hits him in the chest and hand and robbed him of his wallet and mobile phone.

He claimed two of his friends committed the crimes but not him but was found guilty of grievous bodily harm and armed robbery in company with personal violence.

His legal team appealed the sentence was too harsh for someone Neilson’s age being 17 at the time of the crime. This is where Neanderthal Mullins comes in. She said, the sentence was “patently manifestly excessive", ruling that Neilson's age and lack of criminal history were significant mitigating factors. (Unbelievable)

She ruled the four year sentences instead be served concurrently, and that Neilson's parole eligibility date be brought forward two years to May 2013.

I hope Justice Debra Mullins that someone very close to you is a victim of violence, such as this case and that a judge rules a sentence and it is appealed and then the appeals judge says it was “patently manifestly excessive".
