Judging by her sentencing remarks thats exactly why hes ended up with a long stint

I worked in Criminal defence and even I got a bit of a satisfaction out of clients who failed to show remorse or contrition eating shit in sentencing.

Like seriously, there are so many simple little things to do to get your sentence reduced and it seems like the Hayne Plane just wasn't interested in several of them.

I know Peter Fitzsimmons is a bit of a polarising character, but the article he wrote this arvo highlighted something thats always bugged me.
Whenever phone transcripts are released of NRL bad boy bullshit, theres never any remorse, or the guy on the other line trying to pull the player up on the bad behaviour.
Nobody wants to confront their mate or call them out, and i think that highlights a massive issue amongst these dopes...they are too dumb to know they are doing bad things.

It may not necessarily them being dumb in my opinion. Just more likely being arrogant.

How's that a f**king positive character reference? How is that relevant? All people who read the Holy tome must be innocent and decent people?

I don't remember any mention of the Bible in his court transcripts either.
The only reason I can think of for using his love for the bible as a kind of defence would be that the victim is an adult and female. If it was a 12 year old boy then it's pretty much an admission of guilt.

Well he's got plenty of time now to lose that. The 5.75 years is about double what I expected.

3 years 8 months non-parole.

It’s a fair lagging.

Has promised to appeal, but he has to have grounds doesn’t he?

He knew he was going away today, he wouldn’t have been surprised.

He’d be in a cell by now, a very different life experience.

Based on what he said about his innocence, he may be thinking of himself as the victim. And with that, significant internal anger at others.

Has to be careful to contain it. Doesn’t want to make enemies. Keep to himself and learn the ways.
