SARAH BRADLEY HAS TO GO!!!!!!!

Cairns District Court Judge, Sarah Bradley has to be removed from her current position if there is to be truth in sentencing. Yesterday in court, she sentenced a 42 year old man to 9 years jail, he gets out on parole after serving only 3 years. His crime? He was raping his own 5 year old daughter until she was 13!! This is the same judge who failed to jail and record convictions with the men who raped a 10 year old girl. That little girl got 8 years of his abuse and a lifetime of memories that cannot be erased, hopefully her pain will be lessened with counselling and support. The mongrel dad gets 3 years..... is this truth in sentencing? I think not.
Surely something is amiss when a judge keeps handing down such lenient sentences while sitting back with a lush fat paycheck , she loses respect of the people. Judge Bradley can excuse her decisions as much as she likes, it changes nothing. Her words are meaningless when she can't deliver fair and proper justice for helpless victims. The maximum sentence this male could of received was between 8-11 years imprisonment. What a dam joke, he gets 3.

RE: AURUKUN NINE.... JAIL TERMS!

A Brisbane court's decision today to have five of the Aurukun Nine put behind bars over the gang rape of a 10-year-old girl would have a profound effect on the remote Cape York community, the group's indigenous lawyer says.

Thema Schwartz, of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Legal Service, refused to rule out an appeal after the full bench of the Supreme Court of Appeal this morning ordered jail for three of the adult rapists and detention for two juveniles who took part in the 2006 attack.

Four other juveniles will be placed on probation.

The decision overrules that of Cairns District Court Judge Sarah Bradley, who last year allowed the nine to go free on suspended sentences after accepting prosecution submissions the girl had "probably agreed" to have sex with them.

Ms Schwartz said she would contact the nine, who have now had warrants issued for their arrest, as a matter of urgency.

She would not be drawn on the reaction of the nine males, but warned indigenous people across the Cape would be affected by today's decision.

"We're going to strategise our next step," Ms Schwartz said outside court.

"There will be an impact on the community ... That's all I'll say."

In a scathing judgement delivered just after 11am, Queensland's Chief Justice Paul de Jersey described Judge Bradley's original decision to release the Aurukun Nine on non-custodial sentences as "extraordinary".

"The court has concluded that the sentencing of (the nine) in these cases was attended by a number of errors," Justice de Jersey said.

"These errors were so serious as to produce a clear miscarriage of justice.

"The prosecution must bear substantial responsibility for what occurred ... (however) The imposition of a proper sentence was ultimately the responsibility of the judge."

STIFF IF THE NINE ARE AFFECTED BY THEIR SENTENCES! THESE COMMUNITIES SHOULD BE PLEASED THAT PROPER JUSTICE WAS BROUGHT DOWN ON THE MEN WHO COMMITTED THE RAPE OF A TEN YEAR OLD GIRL.

THE EFFECT THIS WILL HAVE ON THE COMMUNITIES WILL BE FOR THE BETTER THAT ANIMALS SUCH AS THESE WILL BE PUT AWAY WHERE THEY BELONG.

PERHAPS Ms. SCHWARTZ CAN EXPLAIN WHAT SHE MEANS BY THE FOLLOWNG:

She would not be drawn on the reaction of the nine males, but warned indigenous people across the Cape would be affected by today's decision.

I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS:

At an appeal hearing in Brisbane in May, Solicitor General Walter Sofronoff QC successfully argued the lenient punishment was grossly out of step with community expectations.
Lawyers for the nine disagreed, claiming the Cape York community was so dysfunctional, it had produced a different moral standard.

HETTY JOHNSTON OF BRAVEHEARTS SAYS THIS:

Ms Johnston said the argument was valid.

"I think, though, that (today's) decision did take that into account," she told reporters outside court.

"We all have to recognise that the conditions are manifestly different up north to what they are down here ... (but) there seemed to be a different level of justice.

"Hopefully this starts to set the level playing field across the state."

She said moves by the Supreme Court of Appeal to ensure the offenders received counselling and rehabilitation as part of their punishment was crucial.

"It has to be about stopping the cycle," she said.

YES...BREAK THE CYCLE BY ALL MEANS. BUT, DIFFERENT MORAL STANDARDS IS A POOR EXCUSE TO USE. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT MORALS BUT WHEN THE RAPE OF AN INNOCENT CHILD OCCURS, THERE CAN AND SHOULD BE NO EXCUSE, WHAT BULLSHIT IS IT TO SUGGEST BECAUSE OF THEIR MORALS, WHICH AMOUNT TO THOSE LOWER THAN A SNAKES ASS AND THAT THEY ARE A DYSFUNCTIONAL COMMUNITY. BLACK, WHITE, RICH OR POOR....NO EXCUSE FOR SEXUAL ABUSE!!

Life imprisonment is not enough..Greenough Family Massacre

In a small town called Greenough just outside of Geraldton in Western Australia, Bill Mitchell systematically killed a mother and her three children in the most callous and brutal way. Karen MacKenzie 31, her son Daniel 16, daughters, Amara 7 and Katrina 5 were bludgeoned to death with an axe. Karen was also raped after she had been killed. Amara was sexually assaulted also. The injuries to the deceased were so severe that it was ruled the finer details were never to be released to the public ever. It took five weeks of long drawn out investigations, scientific and otherwise before police had their culprit. When police brought Bill Mitchell in for questioning he confessed to the murders. His defence at the time was that he was high after smoking marijuana and shooting up amphetamines . Originally William Patrick Mitchell was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment with the right to apply for parole after. Such was the public dismay and outrage that the Crown appealed and he was ordered to spend the rest of his natural life behind bars. William Mitchell went to the High Court and the original sentence was re-instated. In the year 2013 he can apply for parole. This is outrageous. This animal took the life of a mother who refused his sexual advances at a previous party, he then brutally murdered her young children and went about his daily life for the next five weeks as if nothing had happened. There is no second chance for Karen and her children, and surely a case like this gives credence to the death penalty to be re-introduced. There is little chance that will ever happen but he does not deserve to be released after 20 years. He will only be 44. Four lives taken by a selfish, sadistic, drug fucked poor excuse for a human being, the term of his natural life in prison is far less than what he should get. William Patrick Mitchell should die in prison. He gets a second chance, those he murdered do not.
