This judge should be looked in to as it is apparent he is homophobic to have given such light sentences. Surely the attorney general should appeal the payment of to the evil killers. As teenagers 16 + are classed of legal age sexually and able to obtain a drivers licence and a current push to be able to vote then they should be named instead of hiding behind the so called child laws.
It is time the Government stepped in as this case has the nearly appearance of Gay panic law.

I wonder what judge Whalton’s comments would be had HE been the subject of these offenders’ “not adult-like” attention.
This court result beggars belief.
The sentencing and comments of judge Whalton are almost as sickening as the crime itself.
My heart breaks for the family of the victim.
I am beyond disgusted.

I can’t believe these men are out of jail already?

Who cares if they didn’t throw the final punch to kill him, they bashed him, tied him up and left him for dead – they are guilty!

This is what gay men should be marching for, to protect one another. Because I can tell you right now we are no longer safe.

SO just what would an “Adult-Like-Crime” have been distinguishable from this one then? I must say I had not even heard of this case until reading this latest miscarriage of justice, from this article just now! Sounds more like they were rewarding them (the farcical judicial system, that is), for their services to the community, with this lie of a result! I hope the family of the poor man can appeal this less than poor verdict!

Two to five years! And had their legal fees paid! And only charged with “aggravated kidnapping”! What about manslaughter? They killed him. This is disgraceful!

Law abiding people of good character don’t bash people to death. If this had been a young female victim, what would the outcome have been. Let’s face it , despite some progress, in the eyes of the law, gays are disposable.

Sorry, but I find it absolutely unbelievable that 3 young males should be rewarded for their deliberate action in luring an older male to his death.

What’s wrong with our legal system to even consider such action?????

Anti-gay bigotry is alive and well in 21st Century Australia.
