I suspect we'll be disappointed. "Justice" really is a joke. 😠

Maybe suspended sentence doesn't mean the same thing over there as it does in this colony????

 

A suspended sentence is your one chance at redemption. If you come up for the same offence within the timeframe set by the first judge then the next judge adds the original sentence to your one for the new offence.

 

Both barrels indeed.

I'm not an expert, but I thought that was the basis of the suspended sentence over here too. Although it's not really ever invoked.

I could be wrong....

Aye, "within the time frame". I'd be surprised if our man Mick's suspended sentence, from years back, hasn't passed its Sell-By date.
One can only hope the prosecutor knows their stuff, and can draw the complete picture for the judge.

Once upon a time it meant you were hanged. It's a bit more lenient now.

 

If he commits another offence before the suspended sentence has expired, any offence, the suspended sentence can be activated and he gets banged up.

I've just looked it up, and indeed his 2020 conviction was suspended with a two-year time frame.

This guy has been at it for more than 35 years, spent six months in prison in '89, and already in 2020 had roughly ten convictions - maybe more in the mean time.

He's not gonna stop.

Sadly a judge will have to go by the guidelines and it is likely that all of his past, spent convictions won't be taken into account because of the timeline.  TBH that is probably why he is being taken to court for such a small time frame; were they to actually act upon some of his actions documented on here, then he'd be in the realms of committing crimes whilst still serving his 2 year suspended!  His solicitor has likely come to an agreement that they'll not contest the action if he is only tried for a small number of cases in a recent time frame!
