[Resurrected] Jarryd Hayne, the (forgotten) locked up man

[lsz]

Unless you are in the courtroom how could anyone tell based on the pretty scant reporting available?

This article states he was originally sentenced to 5 years 9 months & could now face up to 14 years at resentencing.

I assume the maximum of 14 years was applicable in his first sentencing?

A question from the jury in Jarryd Hayne's sexual assault trial helped end 22 hours of deadlock

The former NRL star is preparing to return to court tomorrow after being convicted of sexual assault for the second time. Yesterday, a jury asked whether "ignorance of the law" was "sufficient defence" to acquit him.

14 years is just the maximum available for that offence, he won't get that. The first trial and sentence won't come into it, he'll be sentenced completely afresh.

I would have thought that time already served would come into consideration for whatever the new sentencing would be, possibly as a reduction to the new sentencing in total.

I have read in one of the ABC articles that "Hayne spent nine months behind bars after being found guilty at his second trial in 2021, and jailed for a five years and nine months." Because of that time already served, if say he was given the same sentence again, I would have thought that he would only be in for the five years because he had already served the nine months. Obviously I am wrong. 🙄

Absolutely correct Jethro, he must be given full credit for all time he's already spent in custody in relation to the charge. Also, after a retrial you don't normally get a longer sentence than you got first time, so he may end up with something a bit smaller, plus credit for time served. So might end up having to go back inside for a further couple of years or so, before being released to parole supervision.

Must have been very frustrating being on that jury if the crucial question for one juror was the final one they asked the judge.

But thankfully that represented a jury of his peers

An unarguable example of the dangers of "hook up" culture.

What a waste. Very sad for all involved. This kind of doesn’t feel like a footy topic to me other than the fact Jarred once played the game.

Agree - but is also an ever present spectre in this day and age, especially for "professional" sports people

Hilarious mate

yeah boiiiii

Margaret Cunneen might want to consider moving back to the prosecution side. Her record defending footy players is not looking good.

But I’m sure her bank account is

 

[ElectricEagle]

No doubt there will be an appeal and even possibly a judge only re-trial. Would be very difficult to find anyone out there without a pre conceived opinion of whether he is guilty or not. I'm sure Cunneen would argue that it is impossible in New South Wales for her client to have a fair trial. If bail is denied and straight to sentence then his time already in gaol would be taken into account, and I'm sure the financial hardships of selling all of his assets to defend himself would be looked at as well. I'm sure the mental trauma (yadda yadda yadda) and head noises, and how he wasn't hugged enough as a child would come out and the sob stories would begin.

Respectfully, who really cares about his financial hardships, trauma, etc?

He's been found guilty, so should be punished accordingly. (Worth noting it's not the first time he's been accused of such things).

JH deserves what he gets.

The court does. It's a joke.

Agree. The whole thing is bloody sad but a court has found him guilty of a terrible crime. He is responsible for that and he deserves the consequences of that.

I’m sure they’ll put on an Easter egg hunt at Long Bay to cheer him up

Especially one where he has to bend over to go looking for them.

Sorry , I’ll let myself out .

 

[voicefromthehill]

In all of this - and I will put it as delicately as I can

How the hell do you make a woman bleed and say it was consensual? That is the part that has never been explained away in all of this. That part has never been debated by the defence either....
