wow australian justice is way too lax. 8 yrs of a 16 yr sentence for taking a young girls life and is allowed to walk free to do it again? wtf is wrong with that parole board.
As an Australian I can assure you that if you want to murder someone do it in Australia. You’ll probably get 10-15 years and with good behaviour you’ll get out in 5.
Shelley Godfrey thinking same as you. I’ve watched a lot of crime stories from Australia and often these disgusting pigs get less than a bank robber wtf is that????
Yup. Especially those murders should be locked up in a tiny box and forgotten about. Vigilantism should never be tolerated. I truly believe you can judge a society by how it treats its prisoners. I can tell you that in the usa and canada that the state of prisons is horrible and too many people in society don't care.
That's how he was described by an old Bridgewater farmer. Some colourful old characters out that way before it became scum-filled housing estate area filled with the lowest of low IQ degenerates and slappers with 7 kids to 6 different fathers.
I know when we go out with family or friends I'm not going with someone I dont know. But that monster needs to spend the rest of his life in jail he is a predator.
Ya Hey, I can see it now; YOU(bruce ) and your sista' (sheila) are out one night wif you and your very best mates: (Bruce and Sheila. The two Bruce's. Bein' they bein' The decision makers of this hearty foursome
I used to go to the same pub in the early 80's - it was a rough part of town but on the weekends always lots of people around making their way through the city. Hobart is small enough that it wasn't unusual to bump into friends on the way home, and to that end I sometimes walked home alone - I never felt isolated, and rarely unsafe. It was just how things were back then. To some of the earlier commenters - stop blaming the victim and her sister.
Cynthia also, the country is having a debate on the lethal injection, they’re saying it is inhumane. The last time I checked, the offenses these criminals have Committed to others were inhumane, so who cares
I don’t know if I could work for a police department in a country that doesn’t punish their murderers and rapists how they should be. Parole and only a 16 year sentence? I just don’t think that’s justice for this young girl.
So messed up. I know someone who was released after only 2 years in prison for the r*pe of a toddler. Medical records and everything that proved it but he charmed his way out of a longer sentence. Makes me sick to my stomach I hate our system.
Uhm what part of the raping, the attempting to strangle then drowning someone until they are dead and disposed of is manslaughter rather than murder? I cant think of how much more murderous that murder could be...??
I'm guessing because drowning was the cause of death, and the police couldn't prove whether or not he had held her head underwater. It's one thing to know what happened but it's another to prove it. This is just my understanding of the law and not in anyway supporting the murderer or such a lenient sentence.
@@CariettaWthe law is even if cause of death is drowning , he is the one who placed her unconscious body near the tide. That should be “reckless intentional homicide” but I reckon that wasn’t the law back in 1990
Australia needs to revamp their penal system. When you take someone's life that is something you can never replace. I don't care what anyone says these people can't ever be rehabilitated. All you are doing is turning them loose to hurt some one else
What is with Austrailia...Considering That country was initially a prison colony.Maybe murder and rape are such commen crimes in a penal colony?...Just stabbin' in the dark.. Exuse the pun..AND I know Aussie's have a great sense of humour...So Aussie's PLEASE take NO offense..None intended... But what up with the light sentences?
@@kittylaflamme622 such light sentences are common in many countries, or else the sentence sounds heavy but they still get out on parole. As to being a penal colony, indeed some states were, South Australia had no convicts and yet look at the weird murders that come out of there. And since the convicts were English, Irish and Scottish for the most part, you might wonder about the seed populations. In most cases the poor devils were sent out for paltry crimes, poverty and overcrowding being the main culprits.
I live in Australia. People get away with so much here. If you haven’t got a criminal record you could murder someone and get a light sentence probably. There’s not a lot of justice for rape, child sex abuse, domestic violence. It’s frightening.
I know he did it, but why did the parent always say that was not her (Amanda's) handbag? Found that strange...Oh yeah, and Australian justice is a joke.
I was stunned that the police asked the parents (rather than Amanda's close female friends or sister) to identify the bag. If you want to know details about a woman's clothes or her inner world, you ask her girlfriends.
This could've been me and my sis, our 20's were pretty wild, very grateful to have survived. I feel so bad for Mandy, her sis, her folks, and the detectives too. It's so sad, such beautiful people.
You could of just said you feel bad for em and it would of meant something, but the fact you had to include yourself and ya sis into it makes ya whole comment mean nothing to the people harmed.
Amanda Carter would have been 64 this year if that taxi driver had mind his own business. The taxi driver was sentenced to a total of 16 years but he was released after serving 8 years. To Australia this was a slap on the face. I can only hope Australia keeps criminals behind bars much longer in 2022.
We have plenty of grubs like these who are never getting out so the idea that Australia just let's every murderer out is not entirely correct. This filth only got a charge of manslaughter because it couldn't be proven whether Amanda drowned by accident or or this grub actually did it on purpose.
Back in the day, there was always one chosen to nurse a drink and keep sober to drive or intersect leaving alone. As snookered as she was, I am amazed she was permitted to leave alone.
What a mystery that was! The police find a purse in a cab, takes it to her parent's house to be identified, "we have found your daughter's purse". Family: "that's not Amanda's purse". Police: Yes, it is." Family: We KNOW Amanda's purse, that's NOT her purse". Later in the investigation, police: "It's Amanda's purse".
@Piper Black I can't even imagine how devastating that would be. It would have to be the worst experience ever. Scratch that...the worst would be never finding your child's murdered body.
Why bother charging him at all. He's basically gotten away with murder. The investigation probably cost more than what is cost to house the him in jail.
Way too short a sentence, should have got life, released after 8 years f*****g ridiculous. Should never have been driving a cab anyway with convictions.
If the police are not confident that the jury will find him guilty of murder, then they settle for him pleading guilty to manslaughter - manslaughter has a shorter sentence than murder - better than him being acquitted and walking free - that's the system, unfortunately! In the state I live in (Victoria) a recent murder case has the public very upset - Borce Ristevski killed his wife Karen in 2016 and because the police can't prove murder, he agreed to plead guilty to manslaughter - he got a deal that could have him out of jail in 5 years! It's just been announced the the Director of Public Prosecutions is appealing the sentence, and hopefully adding another 10 years onto his sentence! Fingers crossed!
@@eileendelaney4329 what I thought I heard was that he had already confessed & that DNA was present in a a mixture of both their blood. I understand the reason a plea is used but this seemed to be as clear a case as you can expect to have, just seemed as good as you could have. Thanks for answering.
Well, why did the family say that the brown handbag wasn't her purse? Of course it was her purse; it was found at the last place several people had seen her standing. They didn't explain why it wasn't her purse (the buckle was different/different size/whatever.) That hurt the investigation. Why did the sister forget they'd been walking with those two men for awhile? Weird intelligence level.
We have an “injustice system”. It gets me so angry that we have so many pedophiles/murderers out on the streets because of the ridiculous sentencing they get. It’s time to get tough with them! They can’t be rehabilitated…. Put them in jail to keep the community safe!
Tasmania is full of corruption and nepotism. Always has been. I lived there from 1963 to 1998 or there abouts and nothings changed. Always had that Hutchins School, Friends School, state Liberals old school ties conservative stench about it.
You're all commenting about a sentence handed down 30 odd years ago as if it was handed out yesterday. The laws have changed since then. 18 years out of jail, I wonder if he's still alive even.
It's not unsafe and there are plenty of murderers in our jails who will never get out. This vile grub only got charged with manslaughter (which always results in a lesser sentence) because the cops couldn't prove whether Amanda drowned by accident or if this grub head her head under the water.

Also great the detective agreed! On TV!
Our judicial system is so beyond broken. We've had so many rapes and murders committed by people on parole for those things. It's disgusting
Same here in America. It's done intentionally.
William Mitchell the Greenough murders was also on parole
ÅA0
Lately it seems alot of Indian and African people committing these crimes in Australia and the judge basically makes excuses for them everytime
He should have got life with no parole, that was a ridiculous sentence..
May be he get next time, if they can catch him-
In USA where I live depending on which state you live in you get either life or the death penalty depending on which state you live in.
8 YEARS for murder! WTF?!
@Sri Yantra WTF
Geez......gotta say, if I’m out with my sister or friends for that matter, wherever I go, they are coming with me & vice versa. No one goes alone.

6 and 10 years??! You might as well have let him go! Oh and let him go after 8 years! Your justice system needs to change !
It's the same were you live,...so give it a rest.
Australia doesn’t value women and children’s lives. Poor justice system that leans toward offenders rather than victims
ThatDutchguy no it’s not. We actually give death sentences. Then leave them waiting around until we are ready to execute them. You give it a rest !

Sometimes they just get probation, then commit more heinous crimes. And the judges act shocked. It's nearly as if they want them to commit again
They are not police they are foreign employed private security guards.
Unfortunately it's the judiciary far left woke types
So what do u suggest, Should we follow the American justice system. We have way less crime here. Zoro tolerance doesn't work. Crime is part of life.

Jeeze.....eight years......no rehab only to get out and do it again? Wonder what he did or said to get parole.
Meanwhile in the USA you can spend decades in prison for having some weed for personal use.
with that kind of punishment in australia for sure lots of rapist murderers are now free walking in public hunting for their next victims scary🙄

I'm sure it has changed alot now, or well I'm hoping. But damn, someone like that should rot in hell

No he hasn’t changed, he committed more rapes
Disgusting , think im going to be sick.

16 years 😂🤣😂🤣 ol dude died pleasantly from heart disease, caloric intake and probably lung issues....... come on peeps, give em the book
only 6 years for rape & 10 years for murder??@%$# manslaughter or not, the victim was dead, so it's murder. wow, unbelievable!
Now that I think about it, in the USA where I live way more crimes are committed which makes no sense since of the sentencing we have here
My sister was murdered. The perp only got 6 years, she was out in 3.would have been less, she got herself in trouble in jail.
First these girls need to stay together and be so much more careful, there are always people out there waiting to grab them and do them harm!
They call this justice
In the US he would have gotten life in prison, but this is what Australia and the UK call justice. Slap on the hand and insult to justice.

8 years and he was out ?! Australian law is a joke!
