Rodney Payne, busted by his ciggy butt, to rejoin society in 2014

When you hear about a burglary sentencing some things are crushingly predictable.

And so we come to Rodney Payne, who left home when he was 18 to move in with his long suffering girlfriend (although not so much suffering that she didn’t have three children with other men along the way, and one of his), a record of 30 offences that he’s been caught for, out on a good behaviour bond when he broke into a Calwell vet clinic and made off with a dryer and an air compressor.

Sadly for Rodney he left a cigarette butt in the middle of the floor which the police were able to get his DNA from.

Gold!

I think it’s quite reasonable to suggest that he will be back on the streets as early as February 2014 given that he will be eligible for parole at that time.

I think your headline is mistaken – he has the opportunity to apply for parole in 2014.

Still, it’s not bad for someone with 30 odd convictions by the age of 23.

Indeed, apologies.
