Victoria's Director of Public Prosecutions has lodged an appeal against a magistrate's decision not to jail a man who attacked a paramedic while in a"psychotic state" after taking a cocktail of drugs.
But Haberfield, 22, avoided a minimum six-month jail term also included in the new laws, which came into effect last October. In sentencing, Magistrate Simon Zebrowski had said jailing Haberfield would have a"disproportionate and catastrophic effect" on his future.The non-custodial sentence drew criticism from emergency service workers including one of Haberfield's victims, who wished to be named only as Monica, who cried in court when the sentence was delivered.
Should be in the can. Not much comfort to the woman or her family, when they think about how he tried to cave her head in.
Useless lefty magistrate should be stood down... 👎 Stuff the offender, his actions have traumatised a young woman who was doing her job trying to protect the health and well being of people in need🤔 including the offender😐🤷♂️
