Re: Triathlete dies after hit-and-run
The Queensland Attorney General is looking at the case in terms of the sentence handed out. Appeal or no appeal? That's the question. 8) 8)

Re: Triathlete dies after hit-and-run
This all makes me wonder why anyone would ever bother using a gun or a knife to kill someone else. I mean, if you use a gun or a knife you're generally looking at ten years. Hey, if you use a stolen car, you get two years. Heck, if you use your own car, you might even avoid jail completely!
I bet Martin Bryant is sitting in a prison somewhere thinking "If only..." |

If the murder had been committed with any other weapon...<br /><br />I also notice the Queensland Attorney-General has failed to reopen the case of another cyclist (albeit one with a lower profile than Luke Harrop) who was killed on the Gold Coast by a drugged out driver at around the same time.<br /><br >
