A judge has slammed Corrections Victoria after it deemed Porsche driver Richard Pusey unsuitable for a community correction order because of his notoriety.

had pulled Pusey over minutes earlier for speeding at 149km/h and were discussing impounding his Porsche when they were hit. He was urinating on the side of the road when Singh’s truck hit the officers and the stationary cars.

Pusey’s lawyers had called on County Court judge Trevor Wraight to consider imposing on the 42-year-old a community correction order, a punishment with a focus on rehabilitation, which is served out of custody but usually has requirements of treatment plans for mental health or addiction problems. But the court heard on Tuesday that Corrections Victoria had found Pusey was unsuitable as a candidate for a community corrections order because, according to Judge Wraight and defence counsel Dermott Dann, QC, he had a high public profile, he was unpopular, and would be “challenging” for authorities to manage.

Senior Constable Kevin King , Constable Josh Prestney, Leading Senior Constable Lynette Taylor and Constable Glen Humphris were killed on the Eastern Freeway.The judge and barrister were critical of Corrections Victoria’s decision and said it was disappointing and indicative that Pusey was considered too hard to manage given his notoriety and complex personality disorder.

Judge ‘astounded’ by report on Porsche driver Richard PuseyPorsche driver Richard Pusey could be too “too unpopular” for a community corrections order, a court has been told, after a report found him unsuitable for the sentencing option. Why Porsche Driver !! Who cares if he had a Porsche or Fiat I may be wrong but... I thought he was in jail at the moment because while he was out on bail waiting for trial there was an incident and the police were called and as such he had breached his bail conditions? If he can’t behave on bail why would he on a CCO? ok so judge thinks as long as he is safe then its fine to hand out community service and screw the community that has to deal with this addict criminal
