One of the critical reasons for Justice Beale's sentence was he could not determine whether the offence was in the mid or upper range of manslaughter.
Justice Beale said the fact Ristevski kept silent on how his wife died did not mean the court could assume that the killing was in the most serious category of manslaughter. "The love they had for each other and the marriage that they shared is something I hope to one day experience myself.Jason South
Life is now so cheap - a sign of the times.
Hear this all the time, and in the end they do nothing. Part of this Govt's revolving door jail policy.
What I want to know is why it takes ‘public outrage’ for them to consider an appeal? is the entire judiciary and legal system so out of touch that they don’t know right from wrong? Or just from unjust? This is a diabolical reflection on our legal system.
The judge should be sacked. Come on AG!
It's hard to imagine how much more pain her family must endure, and then you here this sentence. Judge just poured salt in their wounds
His deal should have included a full confession of how, when, where and why and if he refused he should have been sentenced to the maximum allowed under law.....this is a disgrace.
Are they going to appeal this woman’s manslaughter sentence of 9 years?
Can we appeal the sentence of the drug dealer too. She received no jail time.
my brother got a longer sentence in jail lodging dodgy accounts with ASIC
Cunt
Seems like they can’t prove the seriousness of the manslaughter because he won’t say how he killed her. Surely a defendant refusing to tell the truth should default the sentence to the higher range of manslaughter?
How is it he was charged only with manslughter ?
Bloody well hope so

Borce Ristevski to spend at least six years in jail for killing wife KarenBREAKING - Borce Ristevski verdict: 'You have finally accepted responsibility for killing Karen [but] you have not revealed how or why you have killed your wife,' said Justice Christopher Beale. Not long enough. There should have been another 3 years on top for the 3 years he lied to his own daughter about killing her mother. Beale talks a tough game but hits like a wet lettuce leaf. What a joke this is. Makes a mockery of all of us. Lol ...About time we started sacking judges

Borce Ristevski to spend at least six years in jail for killing wife Karen'We didn’t get justice today, at all': Karen Ristevski's brother Stephen Williams outside the Supreme Court, following the sentencing of her husband to a minimum of six years in prison Wonder what Karen did this time, must of done some r/entitledparents or r/entitledpeople stuff and this guy did an r/prorevenge or r/nuclearrevenge, maybe even r/supernovarevenge! I wish we could rethink what justice means and he it's best served. The max jail term for manslaughter in Victoria as you correctly state is 20 years. Why bother if this sort of sentence is dished out? Judge said the written character references fell heavily towards the sentence. Have you ever read a written character reference that was bad? 🤔

Should have been murder, not slaughter. Where is the justice in that? Sky News should publish stats on prison terms for murderers in Victoria and Australia to see where this fits on spectrum. Six years aye...you can get away with murder, do 6 years minimum and then live your best life ... what a fucking joke!
