So this pig stalks his ex, pretends to be an Uber driver, breaks in and kills both his ex and new bf? And he and his lawyers want to claim self-defenceβ€½

How does breaking in to someone else's property and killing them constitute self-defence? Riddle me that, Batman.

What a piece of shit human, but unsurprising he's a copper imo. One of the few professions someone could have where I wouldn't date or even be friends with them.

    If he's instructed his legal team to run this defence they don't have a choice! (I appreciate the interrobang.)

    r/auslaw has some funny snarky takes on this. I have also learnt there that life without parole is a sentence open to the judge. Let's hope so.

    It's unfortunate bad people gravitate to positions where they can use power to exploit or even hurt others.

    We need better testing of applicants to weed out the bad ones.

    Story Side QuestBack in my retails day we had a Loss Prevention officer who was kinda crazy, would basically be frothing at the mouth at the idea of catching a "bad guy" in the store. It was embarrassing watching her stalk people around the store and there was a rumour she failed the psychological testing to become a police officer.

    Jokes on her though because it turned out her work bestie had been stealing for YEARS before she was caught by someone else.

    I understand that this is not that unusual. The army and navy too will happily boot out people that they think have an unhealthy relationship with unsupervised power. At least our army/navy, can't speak for other nations' ones. Doesn't stop some nasty behaviour to women, but armies everywhere have always had severe difficulty coping with the ghastly prospect that women might be good soldiers.

    That and some of their male soldiers don't care what consent is, and they see a person with some holes and tits and think it's theirs for the taking. Doesn't matter if that person is on their side or not, they got holes they can put their dick in.

    There's a lot of problems with the army/navy, but women aren't one of them imo lol
