    For the type of violent crime the thug committed, no matter the so called lack of evidence, if the turd was part of the attack, as proven by the limp wristed 'court case', I would be demanding at the very least a holiday @ taxpayers expense for at least 5 years as a deterrent to violent crime/car jackings

    and no conviction recorded......................he must be black/immigrant with a lawyer paid for from the proceeds of crime

    Not sure that the coroners' report on the Lindt siege showers the NSW legal system with glory either.

    That's certainly true... we just seem to see criminal friendly decisions on a daily basis coming from the Victorian courts.

    Violent teens who robbed IMP Jewellery in Toorak escape jail sentence
    Rebekah Cavanagh and David Hurley, Herald Sun
    June 11, 2017 11:18pm
    Subscriber only

    THREE teenagers who carried out a terrifying armed robbery, snatching $100,000 worth of jewellery, have avoided being locked up, angering the industry and Victoria’s police union.

    Victoria has suffered a wave of similar violent crimes, and the industry now fears the Children’s Court sentence might embolden gangs of young bandits to strike again.

    The judge rejected prosecution arguments for a custodial sentence, imposing 18-month youth supervision orders on the trio, who pleaded guilty.

    The maximum sentence available in the Children’s Court is three years’ youth detention. In an adult court, the maximum penalty for armed robbery is 25 years in prison.

    The Toorak IMP Jewellery store’s manager was pistol-whipped during the January 14 robbery, and the stolen jewellery has not been recovered.

    IMP Jewellery’s owner, Tony Fialides, told the Herald Sun: “The #judiciary is completely out of touch. I’m very disappointed.

    “I don’t see us as having a justice system. We just have a legal system.”

    And the Jewellers Association of Australia’s Victorian spokesman, #Michael Oboler, said: “The trade feels the judiciary is letting the side down with too many lenient sentences.”
    Three teen bandits who robbed a Melbourne jewellery store have walked free, angering jewellers and the police union.

    Sentencing the trio, the judge said that in dealing with young offenders, rehabilitation was “paramount”.

    She said she took into consideration their remorse, youth, guilty plea, and lack of prior offending.

    But Police Association Victoria secretary Wayne Gatt said: “It is a shame that these young men did not show their victims the same mercy that the Children’s Court has shown them, given their light sentences.”

    Sgt Gatt said: “Our members have worked tirelessly to identify and bring these people to court, but ultimately it is up to the courts to see that justice is done.

    “Police pleas for appropriate sentencing outcomes represent the broad community interest that should be given greater regard.”

    Mr Oboler said: “The perception is the sentences applied are not in accordance with what the community or jewellers would like.”

    About 60 jewellers met police at Malvern Town Hall on Tuesday to discuss the wave of robberies.

    Many have been left counting the cost of extra security measures, and some have been left emotionally scarred by robberies.

    The trio, two of them churchgoing brothers aged 16 and 17 at the time of the raid, are among the first teenagers to have been sentenced over a spate of armed raids on Melbourne jewellery stores.

    The supervision order requires that they take part in school and sport activities.

    A fourth teen, accused of entering the IMP Jewellery store with a gun, indicated at a hearing on Wednesday that he would also plead guilty.

    A fifth, 16, who stayed in the car during the robbery, has pleaded guilty to armed robbery and dangerous driving while pursued by police, and will be sentenced later.

    Two IMP staff were terrified when the four stormed in about 12.40pm on January 14, smashing glass cabinets and scooping up valuables.

    The manager says that when he asked that they leave, one teen hit him in the head with a pistol and shouted: “I’ll shoot you, I’ll shoot you.”

    The elder brother, in a letter to his victims, said the holdup had been a “dumb decision”.

    The brothers are due back in court in September for the judge to check their progress.

    A consolation in the figures is that Victoria is better at investigating crime than the rest of the nation. Investigations into around 42 per cent of Victoria's homicides were finalised within 30 days compared to 29 per cent nationally. Investigations into 65 per cent of sexual assaults were finalised quickly to 37 per cent nationally. Around 68 per cent of armed robbery investigations were finalised quickly compared to 58 per cent nationally.
    What a crock of excrement

    They have better policing figures simply due to a known offender base that is as easy as spotting the difference between black and white

    Motor vehicle thefts in Victoria have jumped 55 per cent from 12,270 to 19,020 over a period in which nationwide motor vehicle thefts grew 23 per cent.

    Reported sexual assaults climbed from 18,860 to 23,050 nationwide, a jump of 22 per cent. Reported sexual assaults in Victoria climbed from 3630 to 5380, a jump of 48 per cent.
    Why no graphs for these? They probably couldn't get the lines to go steep enough....

    Here we go again....



    Check out the comments by the judge and the lawyer....FFS, it's the twilight zone. Six months and a community order with no work...

    He described O’Callaghan as a young man his parents could be proud of.

    “A good son. Today is what it is,” he said.
    ............barrister Bernard Keating

    One punch coward Matthew O’Callaghan jailed for hit on Ryan Parle
    WAYNE FLOWER, Herald Sun
    August 20, 2017 6:00pm
    Subscriber only

    A ONE-punch coward who #almost killed an unsuspecting passer-by on trendy Chapel St will walk free from jail in six months.

    Queenslander Ryan Parle was hoping to spend last Christmas with his family on the Gold Coast but instead spent it in Melbourne with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.

    His cowardly attacker, Matthew O’Callaghan, spent his first days behind bars last weekend after being jailed for six months over the December 17, 2016, attack.

    The 29-year-old pleaded guilty to affray and recklessly causing serious injury to his unsuspecting victim, whom he knocked-out cold while he wasn’t looking.

    CCTV on Chapel St shows Mr Parle exchange words with O’Callaghan before one of the thug’s mates rushes at him and delivers a headbut.

    Without provocation, O’Callaghan then attacks from the side, knocking Mr Parle out before he slams face first on to Chapel St.

    He then flees, leaving his victim for dead.

    Magistrate Bob Kumar on Friday sentenced O’Callaghan to the brief stint in jail followed by an 18-month community corrections order which won’t require him to perform any actual community work.

    Mr Kumar, who repeatedly said he had spent 32 years on the bench, said he found it difficult to jail O’Callaghan because he came from good stock and had no prior convictions.

    “It might look a harsh penalty,” he told O’Callaghan.

    Mr Kumar said he believed the sentence reflected the seriousness of the offence and was in line with community expectations.

    “We won’t hand out a light sentence. It won’t happen,” he said. “Imprisonment is appropriate and if I’m wrong, someone can put me right.”

    In a victim impact statement read in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court, Mr Parle said he was lucky to be alive.

    He spent days in hospital with his neck in a brace and still suffers from pain and memory loss.

    Mr Parle said a deep scar across his forehead would forever remind him of the devastating night.

    Police prosecutor Leading Sen-Constable Tania Fox said O’Callaghan had shown little remorse for his offending.

    She claimed he was only found by police after a social media campaign was launched to identify the coward.

    “This is the exact type of unprovoked, one-punch violence that needs to be denounced,” she said.

    But in arguing to cut O’Callaghan free, barrister Bernard Keating said his client was a talented footballer who was so drunk he could hardly remember the night.

    He described O’Callaghan as a young man his parents could be proud of.

    “A good son. Today is what it is,” he said

    When will the Courts begin to realise that alcohol, or drugs, is NO EXCUSE, both are self inflicted impairments and the offenders should bear the responsibility alone of their actions!!!!!

    You forgot to mention excuses such as when they were smacked as a toddler or were scarred for life due to someone saying they were overweight a few years ago which made them a victim for life
