在墨尔本,一名男子在服用了多种毒品之后,处于“精神病状态”,殴打了一名急救员,法官判决他不用坐牢。州长安德鲁斯敦促地检署考虑抗诉。
今年1月份,James Haberfield在维西的Rainbow Serpent音乐节上服用了多种毒品,之后殴打了急救员Monica Woods.
维州新的法律规定殴打急救员的必须被责令强制治疗。这名22岁男子是新法生效后第一个被起诉的。
新法律是去年10月份生效的,还规定了最低6个月的刑期。
但是Haberfield却逃脱了牢狱之灾,这让急救员们很愤怒。
Woods女士在听取判决时哭了。她因为创伤后应激综合征和焦虑,至今没能返回工作岗位。
维州救护车工会书记 Danny Hill说,从这个案子的判决中急救员们知道了法院根本不支持他们。
在判决后,Hill说:"需要急救员死掉才能让政府采取行动吗?"
州长安德鲁斯说,地检署应当紧急考虑抗诉。
墨尔本初级法院被告知,Haberfield 是四天的音乐艺术节中服用了多种毒品,包括冰毒、MDMA、 氯胺酮等,之后进入了“精神病状态”。
他是一名大学生。
他敲开了Coburg一户人家的门,走进去,吓坏了那家人。那家人根本不认识他。
急救员来接他时,他重击了Woods的脸部,用锁喉的姿势,把她摁在救护车的后角。
法官Simon Zebrowski说 Haberfield那天精神不好,不仅仅是因为自己服用了毒品,还因为他本来就有自闭症( autism spectrum disorder )和严重的抑郁症。
法官说Haberfield在精神病状态下产生了幻觉,认为自己的安全有危险。
一名心理专家说他有在监狱自杀的风险。
法官判决他18个月社区服务令,包括精神病和毒品治疗。

支持抗诉

法官真是太不负责了简直,轻信精神状态影响判断力
还是维州也有监狱床位不够问题。。。

真无语了。。

他在这之前就诊断有自闭症(法律上属于精神病的一种),这次吸毒过量,只是助长了精神病症状。
严格的说,法官的判决也没错。
但是从情感上,难以接受。抗诉成功几率不大。

真的坑爹!!!

记下这个法官的名字,下次他家打电话叫急救的时候悠着点

这人之前就有自闭症的诊断,法律上属于精神病的一种。
要确诊自闭症,需要两名specialist的独立诊断,一名精神科医生,一名语言行为专科诊所的测试报告。
如果他已经确诊,那么从法律上精神病证据确凿。
法官的判决,没毛病。

感谢分享,或许我偏见了。。
低级法官判了,检控官上诉的话,看看结果咋样。

维州有几个法官?怎么感觉都是一个人在瞎搞?

有法不依哦,很好 o

你确定自闭症患者属于限制刑事责任人么?

必须重申一遍,澳洲法官是反人类的

我们西澳的法官是德高望重的

他闯入陌生人家里,来的不是警察,而是救护车。这是什么情况?

我们维洲的法官吃屎都怕赶不上热的

能他妈说啥,人家有证!
只有羊驼奔腾…

SB法官

抗诉的目的不是说要这个人进监狱, 更深层次的原因是修改过的法律规定攻击当值紧急服务人员(警察,急救员,消防员, SES)的罪犯要有最低刑期。
这次法官说没有最低刑期, 就是说修改过的法律没有任何效力, 开了个先例给以后的罪犯开罪。
敢攻击紧急服务人员的大多数都是精神病和吸毒人员, 这个判例等于给辩护律师开了个大门让罪犯不用进监狱。

关于法律更改的条款:
The Andrews Labor Government has passed new laws that crack down on people who attack and injure emergency workers on duty by making sure they are given a custodial sentence, as well as further limiting the use of community correction orders.
The Justice Legislation Miscellaneous Amendment Bill 2018 has passed Parliament and makes injuring an emergency worker – including police, paramedics, doctors and nurses delivering or supporting emergency care, firefighters and prison officers – a category 1 offence under the Sentencing Act 1991.
Under these new laws, courts will have to impose a custodial sentence and will not be able to sentence offenders to a community correction order or other non-custodial outcome, even after determining that special reasons apply and that the statutory minimum sentence should not be imposed.
As a result of the Government’s engagement with emergency worker unions, the new laws also provide a very narrow exception for cases involving offenders with a mental or cognitive impairment.
The new laws also significantly restrict the special reasons that courts can consider – in order not to impose a statutory minimum or a custodial sentence for a category 2 offence – by:
making it clear that offenders cannot rely on impaired mental functioning where it was caused solely by self-induced intoxication, by drugs or alcohol
changing the way existing law applies to young offenders, with people aged 18 to 20 years at the time of their offence no longer able to rely upon their immaturity as a special reason
ensuring that if impaired mental functioning is relied upon because it will make imprisonment more risky or burdensome, this must be materially and substantially greater than usual
narrowing the existing special reason of ‘substantial and compelling circumstances’.
The Director of Public Prosecutions has also been given new powers to appeal any decision which involved a finding of ‘special reasons’ if she considers the finding resulted in an inadequate sentence.
The Government will continue to work with unions, through the Emergency Worker Harm Reference Group, to ensure that emergency workers are adequately protected under our laws.
Quote attributable to Attorney-General Martin Pakula
“These new laws will make sure that sentences for attacking our emergency workers, who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe, are more in line with community expectations.”
Quote attributable to Minister for Ambulance Services Jill Hennessy
“Our paramedics do a wonderful job saving the lives of Victorians. It’s simply unacceptable that they are attacked just for doing their jobs.”
Quote attributable to Minister for Police Lisa Neville
“This legislation sends the strongest possible message that its unacceptable to assault and injure a police officer, and if you do you can expect to go to jail.”

看来制定法律也没用, 法官大人决定不适用

嗯,反正现在正常人都是活该倒霉的,在法官眼里。

自闭症,在澳洲法律和医学上,都属于精神病的一种。

吃屎去法官

这种事情怎么不发生在法官们的身上呢?不公平...

吸毒人员,不应该免除监禁惩罚。
但是把精神病患者送进监狱,也太不人道,这在西方国家里,几乎没有。精神病患者,在监狱里的境况恐怕会非常悲惨。
精神病最多就是进入精神病院,强制治疗。
就算送进监狱,也不会有任何改观,因为他们是神经有病,去监狱治不好。

医护人员真是可怜,压力大,还随时有被殴的危险。

不是所有的精神疾病都可以免除或减少刑事责任
