Teen jailed for Virginia Gay attack, Daniel Owen murder
At least the prick got a prison sentence - he was a juvenile at the time of his crimes, rendering him ineligible for a life sentence.
Wrong place, wrong time ... murdered chef Daniel Owen

HE claims to remember little about his role in three brutal Sydney street attacks because he was high on drugs and alcohol but he will have plenty of time to contemplate his crimes in prison.
The teenager, now 18, who cannot be named because he was a juvenile at the time of the offences, was yesterday sentenced to 12 years jail in the NSW Supreme Court for the stomping murder of a chef, assaulting a cyclist and the violent robbery of actress Virginia Gay in June 2008.
Before being sentenced, the teenager smirked and laughed with onlooking friends as he was led out of the prison van into court. He showed no emotion as the sentence was handed down.
Gay, who is best known for her role in television drama All Saints, suffered head injuries after being attacked by the teen as she walked along Illawarra Rd at Marrickville on June 13.

12 years? That’s all? We will hear from him again before 2015 and it won’t be good news.
This is what we do to murderers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Too bad the Commonwealth of Austraila is all wuss when it comes to handing out justice.

Most likely he would be a recidivist (a repeat offender).
Prison would only serve to harden him further.
Maybe the Aussies should start sentencing their violent offenders to transportation....to England.
Oh, and then star chamber him.
