Eligilble for parole after 6 months

Just in time for finals then

 

[MaxHunt]

No good

 

[Underdog]

really disappointing

 

[Keys]

Can't say he's been unfairly treated either

Hopefully he learns from it

 

[Chris_6678]

Ahh damnnnn

 

[Mattman93]

****

Yeah, about what I thought. 6 months is probably favourable, so he had a win there.

 

[The_Eagles]

Whoa in the clink he goes

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Wow - 12 month sentence seems harsh.

I'm not against a term of incarceration - but I would have thought 45 days would be sufficient

Either way - it sounds from the defence evidence that is career over.

He should be pretty happy with that TBH. Wonder if this will spell the end.

It's about right.
45 days would achieve nothing given the judicial view on unprovoked assaults.

That's a bit subjective. The below attack for example has lasting health implications for the victim which aren't present in Murray's case.

A teenager will have to undergo counselling and do community work after a thuggish NYE attack

A 19-year-old man has avoided being sent to jail for what a Perth judge described as unprovoked and thuggish attack on two men in the early hours of New Years Day last year.

Israel Jordon Charles George Loo and a juvenile repeatedly punched and kicked the victims after one of them wished their attackers a Happy New Year.

The District Court was told one of the men suffered a broken jaw and has permanently lost sensation in his lips and teeth.

Loo pleaded guilty to charges of assault and causing grievous bodily harm.

Judge Richard Keen imposed an 18-month suspended jail term, and said Loo was still only a young man, and since the offences, he had shown real signs of rehabilitation.

Loo will have to undertake counselling and also carry out 60 hours of community service work.

No pity for him sorry, he's lucky he only broke his jaw and nothing worse happened. Deserves everything he gets.

 

[kane249]

Disappointing, but if you do the crime you have to do the time

Hope he learns from this

 

[pantskyle]

I am in total shock that he was given a jail sentence.

So many blokes get suspended sentences nowadays or community orders - it just seems odd that this one gets 12 months.

I'm not completely against it - but I'd like the same sentence metred out more often - rather than this being the exception

My understanding is in that case there we no background circumstances such as in Murray's case whereby he had threatened etc.

It's GBH, not common assault or AOBH TFS; a suspended sentence is an absolute exception to the rule... I said that many times earlier in the thread.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Will be interesting to see how quickly the club act on this.

 

[Chris_6678]

Wonder if Marley Williams will get the same treatment.

I wonder after 6 months if the Eagles will still keep him on their list?
