well., yes, he will get life, that's mandatory.. the only thing at stake is how long before he can apply for parole. And that is where the real rubber is going to hit the road for Mr Herrmann.
In Victoria, it is on the nose politically now to lean towards the idea that the Herrmanns of this world can be rehabilitated. And he won't be the first young man in AU to get a life without parole sentence, there are presently , about 18 of them around the country. Mathew de Gruchy comes to mind, he was 21 when sentenced.
The other young man, the Filipino kid, he got life without parole. The bloke who murdered Ms Dixon, ditto, even though he is a diagnosed autistic. .
It isn't improbable. It is rare, but not improbable. It is a matter of the degree of the crime, and the public expectation.
I haven’t yet read about any previous crimes, does any one have a link to that . So sad and sickening. My daughter wanted to catch a bus tonight to a friends and I just felt no I need to drive you. So sad we have to feel this wayAlso - anyone seen Derryn Hinch post? Fark.. if it's true, I'm fuming. Once again, the legal system in Australia failing us, failing the police, looking after the criminal over the victim.
a reserve, in Melbourne, in among a big stretch of suburbia, a long line of 1/4 acre lots with brick veneer homes, is merely a public park. It might have a rudimentary scout hall, perhaps a creek, this reserve is surrounded by houses, a lot with swimming pools, it has on it's edges, a child care centre, a small shopping area.
The average house around this reserve would be in the vicinity of $450.000.00, to $390.000.00 at a rough guess. It isn't a slum, or a ghetto or fringe dwelling element at all.
It isn't a dead end, either, it's mainly families, perhaps teachers, nurses, firemen and women, IT folks, plumbers, brickies, a mix of professionals and tradies, some very good schools, both public and private..
( may I claim that I lived in Toronto for 3 years, up near the 401 and Parkway, west of Scarborough, I share your common view re reserve ) .

I lived in Elwood Victoria opposite St Kilda botanical gardens . I had police knock on my door one night asking if I’d heard anything that night as there had been a violent rape yards from my home, I now know it was probably Adrian Bailey as al, times match up - awful.If talk of him being known police as a sexual predator are true, surely without parole is a given. Surely. Sarah Cafferkey's murderer is another no parole.. Jill's should be, but yeah .
thanks for that headsup, I thought I was being a bit understated, but living in NSW, in Sydney has made me an idiot judging prices of houses anywhere, really..The median house price for Greensborough was $825,900 in 2018. Even the old houses are sold in excess of 500,000 as it is desirsble suburb in the north for families and young couples
I’m not sure about the stats about house prices . You could spend a few mill or a couple or a couple of thousands in any suburb right now in vic.thanks for that headsup, I thought I was being a bit understated, but living in NSW, in Sydney has made me an idiot judging prices of houses anywhere, really..

Hope so . I feel from reading this mans sm he wa planning something . Poor girlThanks Troop, pardon my ignorance. I thought life was 24 years or something?
What does without parole mean? Never to be released from prison?

Are we allowed to discuss his Facebook page, evidently he has a few . Now he has been named I’m guessing it’s ok, but correct me if I’m wrong. If I’m correct with what I’ve been directed to on a fb link, he had that poor girl in his sights 8th of Jan was the post. I’m now thinking it wasn’t an opportunist attack but prehaps an obsession that had him maybe stalking her . Poor darling girl. And for the record , definitely of aboriginal descent from what I can gather. Doesn’t matter but a few thought otherwise.
Oh no really ? That’s terribleYep, it's a sad world we live in. Living in fear as soon as the sun goes down. There is a screenshot of derryns post on his profile with the initials CKK it mentions Jill Meagher.

I thought so too, he has many from what I can see and the general public have found him with 800 plus comments .I think once he has been named we can?
