“Well-known Auckland artist used baby as decoy in prison drug-smuggling attempt”
This artist so well known, few will have heard of him, did a drug delivery while visiting his inmate son at Wiri Prison run by “Serco”, the demonic outfit in the world of the Public service unions.
Click bait as its finest.
Of course those who might be sufficiently interested to “click” on would in all likelihood have considered the content gave a graphic case of wet ticket application? With the perpetrator Father of the convicted felon being handed a serious loss of liberty.
“The supplying and distributing charges carry a maximum possible sentence of 14 years’ imprisonment, while the unauthorised delivery charge is punishable by up to three months’ imprisonment.”
“The more serious charges, however, were later dropped.”
The well known “artist” was not given anything remotely considered near the sentence above, nooo he incurred a sentence of “40 hours community service”, That’l learn im.
This came back to notice when the “well Known Artist’s daughter” came up for sentence arising from the same incident and after a plea for discharge without conviction failed was handed the same harsh sentence dear old dad, the well known artist, received last November, 40 hours community service.
Amongst the diatribe in the plea for discharge without conviction was a reference to how darling daughter had passed exams to become a “Real Estate Licencee”, just the kind who that industry with an already dodgy reputation needs.
