Travesty of Justice

Today a man suffering from Silly First Name Syndrome who killed a another man in a fit of road rage got sentenced to just 3 years prison for what the judge described as an “appalling case of what may be described as road rage.”.

Three fucking years. No-Justice Potter should be flayed. Three years. That is pathetic.

On his daughter’s third birthday, Bio O’Brien, 28, was jailed in the High Court in Auckland today for three years for the manslaughter of Jasmatbhai Patel, 78, in the Auckland suburb of Mt Albert on April 7.

After their two cars were involved in a minor collision, O’Brien dragged Mr Patel from his vehicle and attacked him.

Mr Patel fell and hit his head. He died in Auckland Hospital the next day.

This guy should really have his neck stretched.

    Yeah. Justice Potter was the clown who let Weatherston run a defence of provocation when there was no proper evidential basis for it.

    SFMS is a genuine condition isn't it !
    The incidences of crime and dysfunction around those with stupid names are way to prevalent to be a series of mere coincidences.

    In MHO, I doubt if she would survive, if she was given the number of lashes due for her many questionable decisions during her time on the Bench .

    My heart goes out to the Patel family. The leniency of this sentence needs to be appealed.

  • Grant

    the police need to appeal the decision- or why should they bother going to work?

    It's an apalling sentence. The guy has shown no remorse, and will be lucky if he does a year. I certainly hope that the Crown decides to appeal the brevity of the sentence.

    Yet another case of the Judiciary failing to do justice for the victim.
    Why are most Judges so out of touch?
    Why are the rights of offenders far more important than victims?
    The Police must appeal this sentence as Justice must be done and seen to be done.

    This violent thug will most likely only serve one year, bloody disgusting. The judge should be stood down immediately and the Police should appeal this grossly inadequate sentence. Potter has definitely gone fucking potty.

    Back to the Wild West when killing Indians didn`t count? This sentence is a tragic reminder that there are huge anomalies in sentences currently being dished out. The killer is probably thankful he was not charged with starving a pet lizard to death. Is this piece of shit here as a result of Mary Anne Thompsons` fraudulent behaviour.

    Bio O'Brien comes a Tuvalu. Bio is a traditional Tuvaluan name.

    Jasmatbhai Patel comes from India. Jasmatbhai is a traditional Indian name.

    What was the point of your post? That foreigners have funny sounding names? Tee hee.
