I read with interest that you reported that Tancredi participated in a viscous attack.
Sorry to do this IPL but........ "Does that make him a slippery character ? " |

I guess this guy doesn't have a poker machine fuelled club to pay the victim hush money like those NRL scallywags.

Actually Rachel, I think you'll find his shot at the Supercar circus was all-over-red-rover by the time he was fingerprinted..... |

I think you will find his shot at the V8 Supercar Championship was never going to happen.....Just because a lawyer gets up in court and states that his client is a "potential V8 supercar driver" with the intention of getting him off the hook doesn't give the man driving talent or a budget (as we know in motorsport the 2 don't necessarily go together)........
2 years in the big house, that's a lot of laps in your head. |

You lot really are unbelievable....I cannot believe you people actually are for putting him in the slammer... Hang your heads in shame....
I believe Michael didnt get a fair sentence because of his status in the community. For christs sakes Rapists get lighter sentences than this!! I would have least expected probation and community serivce not prison! Is this what we want?! Innocent people in jail?! The bloke didnt die!? Michael admitted he did it (obviously) which made the judges decision easier, but at least he didnt lie in court and say he didnt do it! That's shows the guy was man enough to admit he did it!! I like to think he was provoked. You dont punch some bloke waiting for a taxi if you arent provoked. Give the guy a fair sentence!! |

Fair honest people who have twice been previously convicted of serious assault? There's no such thing.

Apparently he has a history of bashing people. This is his third conviction for assault. Not the first. The third. Ultimately he has to learn you don't solve problems with bashing peoples brains out. The victim was in a coma and spent six months in rehab. Could have easily died. Regardless of whether you are provoked or not, you don't go around flogging people on streets. Great of him to admit it and all but do your time, be a good boy and get out of jail and be a responsible citizen. |

If I was the guy in the coma, I would've expected him to get more than two-odd years - bashed and left to die. Regardless of the fact he admitted it, he still did it. Why does the fact he admitted to it encourage some people to think that he should have a more lenient sentence? Before you question my motives, I have met Michael before. Only once and only briefly. He certainly wasn't the type of person who I thought was capable of performing this act - not once, but thrice. I do agree, however, that the Australian legal system is a bit of a joke when cases are not dealt with on precedent. |

I just viciously beat the guy in a cowardly manner sir. I just wanted to prove my manliness...I didn't think he would get hurt...what a joke.
So how does this play against the 'One Punch can Kill' ad campaign? Should have got his sentence doubled... Has CAMS taken action over his driving career? |

No, but I imagine it has something to do with getting sponsorship. Or not.
