Sentencing Judge Paul Lacava acknowledged the brothers' "tragic" upbringing at the hands of "violent, drug-using parents" Stephens, who appeared in the County Court via videolink, has already served just under a year on remand, which means he will be free in less than nine months.

They should have been 'horse whipped' then put away for at least 10 years. Barbarians in our society.
When are the abusive Victoria policemen going to be charged & sentenced for their somewhat similar 'violent & unprovoked' attacks on numerous unarmed civilians? I suppose NEVER. Brilliant thing about 'Cosmic Justice' is, what goes around, comes around, you get what you deserved!
A flogging seems to be in order with these 2 Neanderthal thugs.
Consumed up to $400 of alcohol, doubt this degenerate would be able to stand up.
'Judge Lacava acknowledged the brothers' 'tragic' upbringing at the hands of 'violent drug-using parents''. Yet another case of the judiciary being totally out-of-touch with community standards and expectations. Thoroughly disgraceful! A Community Based Order!!!!
SOFT. SEEMS LIKE THE JUDGE WAS FEELING SORRY FOR THESE TWO DANGEROUS NO HOPERS AT THE TIME OF THE SENTENCING. DISGRACEFUL SENTENCE
