GUILTY Australia - Jill Meagher, 29, Melbourne, 22 Sep 2012 #6

And to think ... the same thing is going to happen after Masa's murderer is convicted.

Yes, technically and legally I know he is innocent until proven guilty and all of that. However, I don't hold the legal system in very high regard at the moment. They protect the criminals, but not society. So I don't care about his legal right to the assumption of innocence at all.

What we've always said - why was he out on bail????? With that history, parole should not have been an issue. He's a serial. So what's he get? 35 years? Then what? Let out to do it all again? He should never be released. On second thoughts, capital punishment as it's advantages. Why should he be allowed to breath our air? And there is no such thing as 'hard labour' in prisons, so we will pay to keep him in prison. Hasn't he cost us enough already - not just monetary.

:seeya: Breaking.

I don't care how we handle these oxygen thieves. I don't care if they cry for their mother and suffer from a lack of vitamin D.
They've relinquished their human rights.
The wardens could sedate the scum by blow dart at 4 metres through a hole in the door. Handlers do that to lions etc so that appears acceptable for animals.
Castration sounds a good option.

I always think of Lindy Chamberlain as she could have been executed before that matinee jacket was found.

Reforms to plug holes in Victoria’s corrections system
March 27, 2015.

THREE outstanding reforms to Victoria’s corrections system designed to ensure dangerous criminals aren’t released on parole will take effect on Wednesday" ... "Police and Corrections Minister Wade Noonan said this week that changes to parole would make Victoria’s system the toughest in Australia" ...

Promises, promises that's all I ever hear - wasn't there a song about that?

Maybe the Government and the Victorian Parole Board can answer how SP was recently released? Look at the damage he has caused.

Counting Dead Women: The issue we need to talk about
MAY 05, 2015

Jenna Price, along with others, has undertaken the grim task of compiling a list of all the Australian women who die violent deaths. Most are victims of domestic violence.
"The project, Counting Dead Women, has already recorded 34 deaths this year ... it’s devastating that large sections of the community appear to “accept” violence against women as a fact of life - particularly in the wake of Sunday’s much-publicised fight involving boxer Floyd Mayweather, who has a long record of domestic violence...

Victims of rapist Adrian Bayley continue to suffer as a result of his crimes, court told

Three women who were brutally raped by one of Australia's most notorious criminals, Adrian Bayley, continue to suffer as a result of his crimes, a court is told.

Bayley has been found guilty of raping three women in the years before he was convicted of the rape and murder of ABC staffer Jill Meagher and will be sentenced tomorrow.

Bayley is currently serving a life sentence with a non-parole period of 35 years.

The County Court of Victoria heard victim impact statements from the three women, who described being traumatised by the attacks.

'He's likely to die in prison'

Video included.


'(I) ran in there with an axe, swung it at him,' Barry told Network Ten on Monday.
'My intention was never to hurt him, just wanted to scare him.'
The woman told him she was too terrified to go to the police over the horrifying incident.
'I put her in my car, we drove to the police station and just as we were about to walk in, she didn't want to do it, didn't want to press charges,' he said.
Barry's first impression of Bayley when meeting him was that he 'came across as being professional, clean and tidy'.
The housemates had such a close relationship that Bayley used to look after Barry's five-year-old son.
'He'd take him down to the parks, feed the ducks, take him shopping,' he said.

Adrian Bayley, Jill Meagher’s killer to serve at least 43 years in jail after 18-year rapes sentence

ADRIAN Bayley will likely die in prison after being told he must now spend 43 years in jail before becoming eligible for parole.

Bayley was already serving a 35-year minimum “life” prison sentence he received over the murder of Jill Meagher in 2013.

The 43-year old was today sentenced to 18 years in jail for his sadistic rapes on three vulnerable women whom he picked up off the street.

He will be 86 when he first becomes eligible for parole on May 28, 2058.

In sentencing, Judge Pullen described Bayley as a cowardly predator.


“Each (victim) in their own way was easy prey,” she said. “And you were an experienced hunter.”

I hope he lives to serve every one of those 43 years, then drops dead before they let him go free.

I think of Jill often - so close to home and just bad luck that her husband didn't see the texts sent asking him to join her that night, and the friend coming onto her, that prevented her sharing a taxi home. Just too awful to think of the "what ifs".

This case has made me a big defender of cctv though. A lot of people here in the UK, don't like the fact that we have so much cctv, and are tracked pretty much 24/7, but without it Jill may never have been found, and Bayley might still be free. If you aren't doing anything wrong, you don't have anything to fear.

So true, my views have changed regarding CCTV as well.
I used to loath seeing those cameras but they actually make me feel safer now.

CCTV is a great addition to our streets, when CCTV was being introduced to streets across the UK and Ireland many civil liberties groups were up in arms and it provoked some serious debate about the invasion of privacy . This has proven wrong and CCTV has solved many crimes. It was CCTV that nailed that subhuman creature Adrian Bayley and also it was CCTV that allowed Police trace Alexander Pacteau in the case of Murdered Irish student Karen Buckley in Scotland, he is now awaiting trial.

Would Police have caught Adrian Bailey and would Karen Buckley still be missing if Police didn't have access to CCTV in those cases. I think ii is very possible and shows the value of CCTV far outweighs any invasion of privacy.

Murderer Adrian Bayley appeals extended sentence over two rapes.

Melbourne murderer and serial rapist Adrian Ernest Bayley has lodged an appeal against a recent ruling which saw his non-parole period increased to 43 years.

On May 28, 43-year-old Bayley was sentenced over the rape of three women, which would have seen him aged 86 before being eligible for parole.

Two of the attacks occurred while he was on parole and bail.

Bayley will appeal two of the three rape convictions however it is not yet known on what grounds.

Legal Aid have reportedly refused funding with legal services provided pro bono.

[h=3]Adrian Bayley in court battle to win legal aid to challenge sentences[/h]Yahoo7 NewsSeptember 1, 2015, 11:00 am

Convicted murderer and violent serial rapist Adrian Bayley has launched a Supreme Court battle to win access to legal aid funds to challenge his current non-parole period.

Victoria Legal Aid (VLA) has rejected a funding application from the sex predator, who is attempting to appeal his non-parole period of 43 years.

The 35-year-non-parole period Bayley received after raping and murdering Jill Meagher was extended to a minimum of 43 years after he was convicted for the horrific rape of three more women.

He is currently not eligible for release until 2058 and will most likely die in jail.
