Do you mind, cods?

If Cods is anything like the rest of us, she'd be bloody offended that this multi convicted child rapist and now convicted child murderer is allowed to keep accessing even MORE tax payer money in order to get himself out of jail sooner.

That Legal Aid money needs to be re allocated in the direction of his victims.

He's been convicted. He's not disputing that at all. He just wants out sooner.

And given THESE SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, you SHOULD mind what this rapist/ murderer is trying to do.

He's lodged and failed in his despicable latest stunt....so he's going to keep going.

Just a waste of time and money. OUR TIME AND OUR MONEY.

I read that transcript earlier, amongst other facts about this case and about the perpetrator's past offences and subsequent short term jail sentences which enabled this psychopath to get out and commit further and much more serious offences.

Some good reading material for you there Aussie. Enjoy!

For anyone interested in seeing where taxpayer's money ie our money ought to be going instead of financing this attention seeking piece of filth in his despicable series of attempts to get out of jail sooner.

Isn't this convicted Pedophile/Murderer getting Legal Aid? Meaning us Taxpayers are being charged for this?

I disagree with Capital Punishment but think that this bloke should be put into a Cell with the meanest, most cruelest of crims and have his eyes punched out ...

Did you "defend" criminals at Taxpayer's expense when you were a lawyer, Aussie?

That would possibly explain why you think Criminals need nurturing. Defence Lawyers tell lies to get the crim off, Prosecutors tell the truth to get them convicted.

Gee, thanks Lisa. It's not as though that is not linked in my Opening Post, at all.

It was rare indeed for anyone charged with an indictable offence not to be legally aided. In my day, the funding came from a mob called The Public Defender (Dan Hempenstall) and later from the Legal Aid Office (John Hodgins.)

The answer is...yes, almost all the time.

I find it too harrowing to read some of the things this person got away with..

how many chances do we give people who flout every chance they are given????..

this boy would not be dead if this man was serving the time he deserved.. its that simple...

I am so sick of hearing time off for good behavior....

its a joke...all they have to do is stay out of fights and eat 3 meals a day.. and for doing that they get their term halved...I am over it..only people with a sentence like Milat will die in prison...

we have to bring back TOUGH sentencing...I dont care if it doesnt stop what is happening.. thats not the point.. it will keep someone like this Cowan in jail for his whole life where he couldnt harm another boy..

he is a coward and a sick one..never let him back on the streets.. his record proves he is rotten to the core.

As I thought.

DUI
Traffic violations
Domestic disturbances

No wonder you only relate to Queensland Laws. I recall you not understanding what a DECREE NISI was in a discussion you had with Black Orchid.
