The reason practices like parol exist is a sort of surety. Whilst there is the belief the legal and justice system is accurate, there is always the chance that the wrong person is convicted and it happens more often that what people think. Imagine a person being given the sanction of the death penalty and then found that they're not guilty after the fact. 

However to some extend I agree. The crime legal system in Australia is mostly controlled by the states so sentencing is just appalling and bail systems are messy, particularly in Victoria. I believe a life sentence here currently stands at 25 years, not a persons whole life.

I understand the concept of false convictions. However in cases like this where the defendant surely committed the crime, I believe harsher penalties are applicable, whether that be life in prisons without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

Im so happy there isn't yet a "why didn't she just leave comment?" For those who think that you have to remember that things aren't that simple. Men/women (mostly men however) who commit mentally damaging domestic violence, that leave the fiction feeling of worthlessness, then make the victim feel as if they need the other partner, that they're "worthless" without them. This is achieved through these degrading physical acts. There is also the question of safety. Like what would happen if they did leave, there is always the threat that these terrors will escalate, particularly if children are involved. 

like how you felt the need to include the little blurb in the parenthesis.

He only got 10 years behind bars. That's f*cking ridiculous. The title of the thread is extremely misleading. That's absolutely outrageous. 

In the beginning of the post it says life sentence so that's what I read. Sorry
