Thomas Kelly was walking along a footpath when he was king hit by Kieran Loveridge, a completely unprovoked and random attack. Thomas died as a result. Mr Loveridge pleaded guilty to manslaughter for which there is a maximum sentence of 25 years. He will serve four. Tim Blair has this to say …
One day a perfectly average Australian will face court on a violence charge. This person will be from a middle-class family in a plain suburb. He’ll be a middle-ranking employee at an ordinary business, earning the national average wage. Nothing from his background will be exceptional.
This bloke, whoever he is, can expect the longest sentence in Australian judicial history.
