    As you can tell by my channel moniker, I'm a Kiwi and as such I'm pretty familiar with the sentences handed out for serious crimes in New Zealand, I read the court news daily. Also, because NZ only records around 50 homicides a year for the entire country, any murder that is slightly out of the ordinary is usually covered by nationwide media, as are the court cases for those murders.
    New Zealand is ridiculously lenient on murderers. A life sentence here for an unplanned murder will usually see the murderer walking the streets on parole after 5-8 years if they behave themselves inside, show remorse and a willingness to rehabilitate themselves back into society. A premeditated murder might attract a 17 or 18 year sentence but once again, good behavior etc will usually see this sentence cut in half.
    The worst murderers such as child abduction murders, murdering police officers or mass murders will attract 25 - life sentences but we have only a small handful of murderers who will never have any chance of freedom such as Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch Mosque shooter who murdered 51 people in about 30 minutes who was sentenced to 51 life sentences without the chance of parole.
    In New Zealand a person who is caught manufacturing methamphetamine will get a longer sentence than a murderer.

      Well, addiction does ruin a lot of lives in a ripple effect, so this policy isn't irrational-so much cost in every way to society. Still, they could be serious about punishing both homicide and drug trafficking.

      @morri03 10 месяцев назад +8

      You are incorrect. Minimum parole period has to be at least 10 years for all life sentences and can of course be longer. It is impossible for a murderer to get out under 10 years

      I was a court reporter for 15 years. In my personal experience, MANY judges routinely lighten murder sentences if the victim was a person of "disrepute" (prostitutes, homeless, drug addicts, etc). It enraged me so much and utterly disillusioned me with the justice system. I'm no man-hater.. but male judges did this WAY more often then female judges in my experience (I even kept a notepad after a few years of being on the job, I'd tick everytime a male judge gave a light murder sentence vs female judge and male judges gave lighter murder sentences 40% more often).

    If I ever had a relationship with someone who was toxic and the relationship caused the birth of a child, and later the relationship ended, I would put as much distance between the mother and child as possible and never look back. From my observations in life, this draw of a child to be within the circle of a relationship that involves a toxic person is always ruinous. It can really never be any other way. Sever all contact and move on. Toxic people will always, always use children as a weapon. It’s the nature of their toxicity.

      Irresponsible sexuality has real consequences, in this case, baby making.

    Imagine a friend of yours come to you and ask you to help dispose of a body. In the middle of the ocean. What do you do? Not only he just killed a person, proving how dangerous he is, but now you are automatically a loose end. By accepting to help, you are putting yourself in the perfect position to be killed and if you refuse.. well, does the guy even need to say anything?
    That is a very fucked up situation. I don't blame the guy for playing along and calling the police as soon as he is in a safe position.

    • @bluedistortions
      @bluedistortions 25 дней назад

      Yep, that's the only safe option. Because if you say "no," you're a loose end. And once the body is disposed of, you're a loose end as well. So the only safe option is to agree, and get help asap.

    Now for the hindsight. Don’t sleep with someone you would not at least be willing to raise a child with if a child happened. Even though there’s protection nothing is 100% and you can’t count on your partner to use it. Particularly if the relationship has been abusive or controlling the abuse never ends while they are tied to a child. Most of these relationships aren’t this extreme. They’re just toxic for the children involved. I wonder what happened to jack?

    I’m sceptical of Carmen’s detractors. I wonder if they had rather more in common with her than they wanted to admit, and were projecting the blame for any clashes they’d had onto her.
    For one thing, leading people astray isn’t a real thing, just like falling in with the wrong crowd. The people presented as victims in such scenarios are just as much participants as anyone else.

    I am surprised on how people can get away with murder by being "triggered", I do not see one picture where Brad look even pleasant, he is really not attractive. He was sick and tired of Carmen , he wanted his new relationship and child, without her in his life. He planned it when his new relationship started. He told 3 people and not one of them contact the police? They should be accountable. That judge should ask if he would have provided the same sentence, if it was his daughter.

      This was in New Zealand. Sex work was decriminalized there more than 20 years ago, and in general the population doesn't hold the same outdated opinions about sex workers' ability to be good parents that you find in some other countries, so, no, he couldn't have used that as a justification.

      Was Brad even paying his child support? Was maybe she was forced into it because she had to have enough money to raise her child and herself. unless you have education you can’t really get a good enough job to pay for a flat plus yourself and a child.
      If Brad didn’t want to be responsible for a child then he shouldn’t have had a romance.

  • @briansmaller7443

    New Zealand has low punishments for murder. Technically they are on life parole. Most people here think life should mean life, or at least long enough for the person to no longer be a threat due to age and infirmity. Either way, taxpayers will pay to keep them alive - either in prison or out of prison.

    There are numerous comments about the short sentence. Judges are no different from other people. Many people have some form of mental illness. The judge could easily have a significant mental illness, who knows? If you knew the judge was a psychopath and had fantasies of killing, then you probably would not be surprised about the short sentence. In the absence details about the judge, there really shouldn't be a surprise. I think all that can be said is that Brad got lucky.
