JasonRohde to appeal his 20 year sentence for wife’s murder

Lew Geffen Sotheby’s former CEO Jason Rohde, who was sentenced to an effective 20 years for the murder of his wife, will be appealing his sentence, said his lawyer Graham Van der Spuy toThere will “definitely” be “an application for leave to appeal both the convictions and the sentences”, said Van der Spuy.

Calling Rohde “selfish and self-serving”, Salie-Hlophe listed the damage the death of Susan had done to Rohde’s own children and described her as being a caring person who clearly loved her family before handing down a sentence of effectively 20 years imprisonment. “You showcased her, Mr Rohde, regardless of the obligation you owed to protect her, you owed her body, you owed her dignity and her legacy. You committed this offence in a cruel and selfish pursuit to escape the letter of the rule and defeat the ends of justice.

“Murder committed by a man on a woman should not be treated lightly,” Salie-Hlophe said, insisting that in this case, it was important that the sentence be not only rehabilitative, but also a deterrent. She explained the murder was particularly abhorrent as Susan had clearly looked to Jason for protection and love.
