Seems some judges have woken up...The last sentence is good news!

Pedestrians run down: driver's sentence doubled on appeal
April 15, 2010 - 2:07PM

A drunk driver who deliberately drove into a group of seven bystanders
has had his jail term more than doubled on appeal.

A NSW District Court judge in September jailed Simon John Hunter, 36,
for two years and three months, setting a non-parole period of 18
months.

But today, the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal increased his sentence to
four years eight months with a minimum period of three years and six
months.

A jury had found the South Australian electrical engineer guilty of
deliberately driving a rented car into a group of people standing
outside the Terrigal Bakery on the NSW central coast, on March 27,
2008.

Hunter, who recorded a blood alcohol reading of .195 - nearly four
times the legal limit - mistakenly believed the group was responsible
for an assault on his friend.

He was convicted of using an offensive implement, namely the car, to
commit a serious indictable offence, as well as six counts of assault
occasioning bodily harm and one of common assault.

In allowing the Crown appeal, Justice Roderick Howie - sitting with
Justices Peter McClellan and Ian Harrison - said the sentencing judge
had seemed to pay "scant regard" to the seriousness of the victims'
injuries.

I'm surprised you bothered to read anything that I'd written.....but
yess the sell idea is a valuable addition.

Might end up robbing Peter to pay Paul though... and nothing is going to
have a more crushing effect on the hoons then to see their pride and joy
squashed flat.

I wonder if their forbears treated their camels like they
treat their cars? :-\
