      @J DR Who make the laws? Rapists and pedophiles. It goes right to the top of the government. I heard a judge blame a 6 year old rape victim for being "seductive". It caused outrage all over Britain, and the world. We often hear this shit from judges. They have the discretion not to grant bail, and they can give much higher sentences than they do. There is a reason they don't.....every day more and more rapists and pedophiles with hundreds of victims behind them get non - custodial sentences. In NZ one very violent rapist had 166 convictions.......how was he allowed out to keep doing it? Whoever lets them go free are complicit. I am sick of criminals having far more rights than victims. And in NZ now they are about to spend millions of taxpayer dollars putting soft serve ice cream machines in the prisons......while many of our pensioners cannot afford an ice cream....or food or teabags or medical care. I'm on the wrong side of the fucking wall!

      Yah gym fella Calanca is a raving lunatic, and the judge lets him off with community service. Detective referencing that case said there was also no reason for Calanca to have stabbed previous victim and chased him with car. Poor Gabe's family! And the sister, the guilt she must feel for bringing Calanca into their life. But she couldn't have known (although she knew of the ``community service'' incident, who would think anyone would have received community service sentence for anything serious?!) By the time she was in America and was receiving the crazy letters from Calanca, it was too late. Anything she said at that point was gonna make him snap and he was gonna kill someone.

    • @h3llnite
      @h3llnite 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      J DR it’s a common occurrence here in Australia that people get off lightly and go on to reoffend, usually worse than the original offence. I can guarantee you at the time this happened, there would have been some legislation (1991) in place that would have allowed a prison term for the offender.
      No one knows if it would have deterred the pos here, but it was only a short time after the original offence that this murder occurred (1993). So it wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ he’d reoffend, but a matter of when and how.
      Normal people don’t go around stabbing their ex’s boyfriend in the hope to wound or kill him.
      So yes, it probably would have been another family who lost a loved one, but then again, who’d let their 17 year old son hang around a violent convicted criminal, if appropriate sentencing had been applied?

    While it's true that attempted murder is a very difficult thing to prosecute successfully, pleading down to a non-custodial sentence is ludicrous. In the case of Calanca, it meant that he was free to kill Gabe when he should have been in prison.
    To rub salt into the wound, Calanca's non-parole period of 15 years is a joke. It's not as if there are no aggravating circumstances. Premeditation & planning are massive aggravating circumstances.
    The counter to the pissweak 15 argument is evidenced by Calanca's continued imprisonment and numerous parole rejections. My counter would be, why didn't they give him the harsh sentence way back when?

    These plea deals are not conducive to justice. Trying to stab a person to death from behind seems more like attempted murder not "harmful wounding." Then they throw in the reckless driving charge to make it seem mildly more
    egregious. This guy will offend again and they knew that. The Aussie justice system seems to be unraveling much like what is happening here in the U.S. The courts are so backed up, and the discovery statutes create a glacial pace in the courtrooms. Plea deals are attempts to "speed up" cases to the detriment of society.

It's disappointing though, I thought they were better than the cops in the states who literally choke people, shoot them in the back, and so on and so forth, and get away with it, in fact, they get time off PAID while it's investigated and one of one hundred results in a conviction. I guess I have more faith in Australia. I'd love to move there.
