The ABC has a story on the sentencing of the third person convicted with stealing from the WWII Corvettes Association. This is a story we’ve been watching with a great deal of interest for some time now.

For his 136 counts of theft totalling $68,000, the 40 year old David John Grantham of Dunlop is going to serve 18 months of weekend detention.

So what was it then?

You’ve got a lot of sympathy for people who rip off veterans Sadie.

By the way it wasnt 18 months that he recieved.

I wouldnt rely on media sources for acurate information. They are yet to get it right on this case.

By my reckoning, that values his detention time at just over $18/hr (78 weekends, 48 hrs each). Hardly punishment!

the upside to the ridiculous soft judges and sentencing in this city state is that if i kicked him to death in public, with 20 JP’s as witnesss and ‘singin in the rain’ as mood music – i’d get weekend detention as well.

boy i’d learn my lesson.
