Lesley Martin Declined Home Detention
In what seems an unusually simple and well stated judgement, the Parole Board have declined Lesley Martins application for home detention. It seems that stating that you would do the same thing again if given the opportunity is a sure way to ensure that you will not get that opportunity before your full term is served.
"Having regard, firstly, to the nature of your offending, secondly, concerns about undue risk to the community when you are in a position to influence the minds and actions of others while you stand by your earlier comment to the effect you would do the same again or help others do the same in the current legal environment and, thirdly, in those circumstances, the unrealistic prospect of rehabilitation, the Board is not presently satisfied you are suitable for home detention.Good job.
Your application is declined."
