And politicians wonder why juvenile crime is out of control........
Courier Mail Brisbane:
"The teenager who murdered mother-of-two Emma Lovell after breaking into her home with a knife had previously been convicted of 84 offences but never spent a day in custody.Instead, he repeatedly breached probation orders even while undergoing court-ordered weekly sessions in a research-based program called Changing Habits and Reaching Targets.
Now aged 19, the teen was 17 with a lengthy criminal history when he broke into the Lovell family’s home at North Lakes in the City of Moreton Bay."
It appears that the court ordered weekly sessions really helped...

I would like to hear" A minimum sentence" not a maximum.

The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
I have said for a long time that sentencing guidelines need to be reviewed.
1st offence guideline minimum sentence of 50% of max, offenders circumstances may be taken into consideration as they are now. Also time served in rehabilitation type environement
After first court appearanc e/ conviction all sentences must be consecutive.
2nd offence (for similar type of offence) guideline minimum 75%. No consideration of offenders circumstaces. TO be served in punishment type faciity
3rd offense max
Jury, with majority vote, can increase sentence to guideline minimum of they feel judge has been too leniant
Don't be so kind, blunt pocket knife will do!
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

I was a tree lopper in a previous life. We (unintentionally) managed to feed a few possums through the chipper. Always blocked the (discharge) chute and made a hell of a mess. There was a real crime documentary show that described a bloke who committed a near perfect crime. He got caught because he was using a chipper on a bridge at three in the morning in the middle of no-where. Someone just happened to see him. All the cops found was one tooth. Apparently he killed his wife, chopped her up, froze her and then hired a chipper and fed her through. Cops searched the creek and found a tooth. He was convicted.
