During Monday\u2019s Breaking @ 8 segment Penbo read from a letter Michelle has sent to her local member as well as Attorney-General Vickie Chapman:<\/p>\n
‘The person charged — regardless of all the evidence proving otherwise — wanted to plead not guilty right up to the last minute. The person charged chose not to have anyone represent him. The person charged refused communication with the police prosecutor until he received the summons. The person charged resisted meeting the police prosecutor to view the footage until the night before the court proceedings and when he did attend he was an hour late and he arrived wearing thongs shorts and chewing gum.<\/p>\n
‘The footage from police communications shows my son doing absolutely nothing wrong\u2026 we didn\u2019t expect this person to go to prison but we also didn\u2019t expect to walk away totally free of any reasonability for his actions. He didn\u2019t have to face the victim or the victim\u2019s family. There were no costs or fines. It was just half an hour of his time and a suspended sentence of 18 months\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2018Clearly the message is not getting through to our judges.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to take these things more seriously,\u201d Penbo said. \u201cIt just makes you shake your head.\u201d<\/p>\n
