Sentenced to 32 years

Non parole period is 24 years.

So now I am sure the appeal process will kick in.

Yep... I was holding it together til then.

Thoughts are with you and your loved ones and of those of Russell Hill.

Every body is entitled to an appeal. Nothing at all out of order, or unusual. That's how the system works, you could not be more factual. Also, he does not automatically get parole in 24 years, he finally would be able to apply for it, the parole board is under no burden to grant it. .. but that depends entirely on his conduct for 24 years.. personally, I think he'll get 'parole' on an ambulance stretcher, if that, but that's just me.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Actually I was going to post the same thing, ie that the appeal would happen now that sentence has been given.

In the article I posted by John Silvester earlier, he stated that Lynn has already done 3 years of his sentence.

Hey Tootsie, have attempted to write several responses to this but have deleted them all as they are probably not appropriate and would be deleted.
Hopefully, you can read between the lines as to why I found the comment disrespectful. Not directed at you at all!

His parole may also depend on how hard Carol's family fight to keep him in. If they speak to the parole board - when the time comes - and tell of their feelings and the hardships he has caused ... if they fear him, if he was released ... etc etc.

In the article I posted by John Silvester earlier, he stated that Lynn has already done 3 years of his sentence.

But he was likely living on hope he'd get away with it. I expect the years are going to start to slowly drag by now.

I followed this puzzling case from the beginning, I'm so glad they caught him and have locked him away for what he did that horrible night.

I hope the families of the victims feel relieved that the case is resolved.

I do understand your thinking. This is an emotional time.

But it was just a post stating what will probably happen.

I took it as a fact and that post would have been mine if I hadn't had a phone call to delay me.

pathetic!

LYNN'S LETTER OF APOLOGY
In a letter to the court Lynn maintained his innocence.
‘Your honour I am disappointed and perplexed by the jury verdict as I have not killed anyone and will be respectfully appealing the decision.
'However I accept that my decision to flee the scene and attempt to disappear and all of my actions to that effect were selfish and callous in the extreme causing family and friends of both Carl Clay and Russell Hill much grief and stress for 20 long months.
'For those actions I am very sorry.
'At the time I had reasons but I understand they are no excuse and are of no interest to those that suffered.
'To detail any of that now would be insulting to the memory of Carol and Russell.
'I’m also very sorry for the trouble and work my decisions caused for Victorian emergency services both government and voluntary, to my previous employer and sporting clubs to which I belong, I apologise for the shame that my trial has caused.
'To my loving family, I am very sorry for the pain, shame and suffering they have endured.
'I understand that due to current community sentiment, my apology will likely be rejected by most.
'With heart felt regret for my own behaviour I humbly apologise regardless.
'I don’t ask for forgiveness, I am simply sorry for what I have done.’

Just a feeble attempt to pre-reduce his sentence.

His version of "remorse".

imo

 

[TootsieFootsie]

A bit of empathy or remorse that people died may have been at least something in his favour.
In my opinion he has shown neither.

 

[SouthAussie]

Dermot Dann can lodge an appeal, but it doesn't mean an appeal will be granted. He will need to find specific allowable and valid grounds for an appeal, for one to be heard.

He now has 28 days in which to lodge an appeal.
