How is the central Australia trip known?

How is the central Australia trip known?

Good question, I personally can’t recall the source. Maybe search the thread for that year?

Interesting (and sad) discussion on an informative episode of The Missing Campers podcast regarding the not guilty finding for the murder of RH. The 'spontaneous' disagreement, fight, death and burning of a body reminded me of this gruesome twosome and the seemingly extraordinary light sentence...

Swingers jailed for Rockefeller killing

The killers of Melbourne businessman Herman Rockefeller have been jailed for nine years and seven years.

“Unorthodox” . Being the judgemental type I would call the whole thing grotesque. But what the judge said about the dismembering and burning should equally apply to Lynn.

9 YEARS?!?!?! WTF.

9 YEARS?!?!?! WTF.

Yeah the law is really pathetic.
No justice for both taking a human life and then doing other terrible things.
If these sickos could manage to do all this, I’m sure they could have managed to grab him by the shirt and kick him out the door.

There are harsher sentences for some manslaughter cases. Baffling.

Am I correct they are wandering amongst us

Why do we think Lynn ended up giving away the site of the remains after the explanation of how much he wanted to make himself disappear from the situation?

Did he think he had done so well enough to destroy them that there was nothing left for the prosecution to use against him?

I have watched the interview and feel the same way. He reiterated several times that they would not find anything and was very cocky about that. I also think he genuinly thought the cops bellieved his story, so much so, that he thought he would be going home that day too

Maybe he was aware of the dissonance between being innocent and acting in self defence, and refusing to disclose the location of the remains to at least give the families some closure and allow the police to close the case (I haven't seen the interview though).

Yes, not to mention getting released and possibly moving in next door. I mean, who wants to live next door to someone who’s murdered including decapitating/burning bodies. It’s a nightmare come true.
I believe that some people can be rehabilitated and should be able to be released back in society but there’s little chance with sickos like this and personally I don’t believe they should get a second chance.

What is the procedure for obtaining a transcript of the trial? Thanks in advance

Is GL's next court visit 12th or 13th? I thought last time i attended, next hearing was set for 19th Sep according to some notes i took..
Work has kept me out of the loop more than i desired, but was hoping to get to his next appearance. It think it is another procedural pre-sentence hearing, more than a setencing though?
Thanks in advance..

 

[Sponty]

I believe it is the 12th September,

The Defence will be tabling their psych report and Clay's family will be giving a victim impact statement.

Hill's famiy probably not be given the opportunity, becuase Lynn hasn't been convicted of any offence relating to Hill

There might be a Pre Sentence Report from a CCO which may go into his background, but as he has not made any admissions, the concept of remorse cannot be addressed and given the length of his probable sentence, post release plans are not of a High priority

I'd say that the actual sentencing will be deferred to a later date, within a week or two

Thanks as always GreyRanga for your considered response, as always
Yes...i do believe actual sentencing date is 19th Sept, as per my notes from last time. I still wish to go on 12th, as I feel will be very,very interesting..particularly if elements of psych report are discussed. The repartee between counsel and J. Croucher was also exfremely entertaining to observe!

 

[InagoRaida]

I'm also very surprised how quiet it has become in here, especially contrasted to the widfires in some other threads (eg:LR v BH, BL / BH) ..only the true diehards, intently interested in the machinations of what has been an unusual and extraordinary case. It will all heat up again in a week or so, i imagine!

 

[InagoRaida]

Kurve, prob long overdue, but thanks again for tireless and impeccable moderation in the crime boards...your tenacity and even-handedness, especially against some genuinely obnoxious blow-ins in the Lehrmann thread, regarding LR matter, is truly some of the best handled mod work i've seen. Very impressed personally how you keep on top of it, maintain your calm (publicly at least!), keep your passion and stay sane at the same time despite some truly awful blow-ins and persistant campaigners..truly a SuperMod!
It is this factor, plus the genuinely diverse nature and considered opinions of a select number of true contributors that keep me coming back here, despite not really being a "footy person"!
Very glad to have stumbled in here.

The latest podcast episode 'An Analysis of Lynn' makes Lynn look even more guilty.

Not hard to know why the cookers and Lynn fan bois have not been seen around here since the verdict.

Not much to add. Verdict will be appealed but that's still a year away minimum. Will be very interesting. Not without grounds. But that's been posted ad nauseum. Sentence will be stock standard. Probably 30 years Min 23. Appeal will be lodged after

 

[Zidane98]

I believe it is the 12th September,

Pre sentencing hearing tomorrow.

When is the final sentence handed down?

Dipped my toes in on the BH case but it kind of made me feel dirty . For the most part it’s nice and relatively sane over here.

Watson-Munro’s non-professional assessment of Lynn is scathing. Hard to imagine a Lynn supporter could listen to that episode and not question their judgment.
