Australia's Broken Jurisprudence System...

[Rhythmcs]

Stop it. The australian justice system is literally the worst in how it treats it's first nations people. You asked the boards if we thought she got leniency because she was a single aboriginal female. That seems unlikely, since your system routinely railroads that -exact- cohort.

And the the judicial inefficiencies, public disregard for our
laws and the police, and our slack attitudes to youth criminal
behaviour continues unabated.

In short: New crime statistics show offences by children
aged 14-17 rose by 30% last year.  It was the highest
rate of offending by that age group since 2009.  The
Victorian Chief Commissioner of police blamed the increase
on young people seeking notoriety, saying the increase was
the highest rate of offending in that age group since 2009.

Crimes committed by 10- to 13-year-olds rose by 22.5%
and offences by 10- and 11-year-olds rose by 65%.

There were 3,426 alleged child offenders between the ages
of 10- to 14-year-olds accused of property offences including
aggravated burglary; a rise of 16% compared to the previous
calendar year.

In the 15- to 17-year-olds age group, there was a 44% increase
when it came to teenagers accused of property offences.

—I put these crime figures down to soft-cock magistrates who grant
bail, sometimes multiple times(!) to too many of these young career
criminals.

In Victoria, Australia, the Bail Act 1977 governs bail, allowing arrested
individuals to apply for release. The process involves a bail application
and a hearing, where factors like the offence’s nature, evidence strength,
the defendant’s history, and community ties are considered. Conditions
may be imposed upon release. Breaching bail can lead to custody.
Victoria generally favours granting bail unless for serious offences where
it may be refused.

Nope.  A bail breach seldom ever results in the custody of the offender.
One young offender that caused a motor vehicle death recently had
previously been granted—and broken—bail three times, only to be
granted bail a fourth time(!) by some limp dick magistrate.

I'm guessing you don't know much about our judicial
system in Australia, or how we treat our indigenes?

A Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody
drew attention to the fact that the rate of imprisonment
of Indigenous Australians was 13 times higher than the
corresponding rate for non-Indigenous Australians.

Efforts to reduce Indigenous imprisonment rates met
with little success. In fact, over the last few years, the
rate of Indigenous imprisonment has increased. The
research reported here had two main objectives. The
first was to determine whether there is any evidence
of racial bias in the sentencing of Indigenous offenders.

The second was to determine what other factors account
for the higher proportion of Indigenous offenders sentenced
to terms of imprisonment.

The research revealed no evidence of racial bias in
sentencing. The higher rate at which Indigenous offenders
are sent to prison stems mainly from (a) a higher rate
of conviction for violent crime and (b) a higher rate of
re-offending, particularly following the imposition of
sanctions intended as alternatives to full-time imprisonment.

It's amazing, isn't it? Our government also makes such claims. I don't believe them, and your governments rate is a little more than twice our own for african americans. It seems to me like this is a good example of how your system may be broken.

This is another classic example of the failure of
Australia's judiciary to penalise criminal activities
with appropriate sentencing.  In this case, the term
of imprisonment for dangerous driving causing death,
plus associated assault of a police officer, and drug
charges was manifestly unjust.

A woman has been jailed for three-and-a-half years for
falling asleep while drug driving, drifting into oncoming
traffic, and killing the passenger of another vehicle.  She
then fled the scene.

Storm Cecilia Tientjes filmed herself smoking cannabis
while in the driver's seat and had been awake all night
before the crash.  She has never held a driver's licence,
her car was unregistered, and it had stolen number plates.

The sentencing judge said said Tientjes had shown "genuine
remorse", expressed a desire to reform her life, re-establish
contact with her child, and to begin studies.

The judge said the sentence "must reflect the sanctity of
human life and the terrible harm that has been caused",
but then—almost laughably, in the same breath—sentenced
Tientjes to 3½ years jail with a 21-month non-parole period.
