'Most hated man in Australia' Richard Pusey pleads guilty to string of offences

Lawyers for the man who filmed four police officers dying on a Melbourne freeway after they were hit by a truck say he should be released from prison after he pleaded guilty to an array of other charges.

I am quite surprised can't he only got 10 months for that incident. The rest of his offences read pretty rough too. Do you think in prison his name was regularly mispronounced by stronger inmates with needs?

Same can be said for the grub of a lawyer who thinks he should be let off because of pleading guilty. The way I see it, if one admits guilt, one accepts the full penalty that follows. The trend for sentence reduction because of a guilty plea is nothing short of corrupt.

Yes and no. The money and resources that go into the legal system is mind boggling…then the appeal….then further appeals. There needs to be an incentive to copping a guilty plea, even if it’s not much.
In the US podcast series I’m working through, the guilty plea might give you 25 years with possible parole, v the possibility of life with/without parole…which could be as little as 30 years, or overturned on appeal. A guaranteed lengthy prison term it at least a sure thing for the prosecution.
His sentence is way to light though.

Besides the huge cost to jail someone, Jails don't do a lot of good at reforming crims in Australia, something like 65% of crims are non-violet in QLD jails and close to 50% return rate with in a 2-year period, money is better spent towards rehabilitation programs.

I was referring above to brutal murders specifically, of repeat violent offenders.
Non violent offenders are a different case. White collar crime needs to be taken more seriously. Not necessarily with jail terms, but restitution of the financial harm done.

Millions of dollars just gets wasted jailing these people, they should at least put them to work, so that they can pay for jail time. Most of them come out the same, isolated from the community, and just think it's better on the inside.

People get the idea that prisoners are getting a free ride if they're actively rehabilitated so they prefer them to have a hard time in jail.

Most people land in jail due to poor life choices or bad circumstances rather than meticulous planning or malicious intent. It's the former we should be looking to help the most.

It's the latter with good lawyers who get off lightly after doing the greatest harm.

I'm jaded enough to think they're only being picked up for this because the were scrutinised. It's the same numbers everywhere, I'll wager.
