If someone drives at that speed in the city, should be charged for murder, not just dangerous driving

Driving a car that fast in city it's equivalent to shooting a gun in a crowded place and should carry the same consequences

If you want to kill someone with minimal consequences if you're caught, do it with a car.

I guess when you want to kill someone but don't want to do 20 just run them over with a car. 6 months for killing someone WTF kinda joke of a justice system is this?

On June 9, 2022, Fagan had been drinking when she drove erratically...

Fagan, who gave birth last month

That's either a very poor life choice, or a very deliberate life choice for someone facing prison time.

In the moments after, Fagan lied to police and blamed it on "African men" she did not know.

What the fuck does that even mean?

However, Judge Johns said Fagan had suffered an extra level of punishment due to media attention on the case, and abuse she received from others on social media.

Since the crash, Fagan has attended a number of Indigenous rehabilitation programs and made "strong progress", the judge said.

Fagan, who gave birth last month, was supported by about a dozen family and friends in court.

Judge Johns said he would support an application by Fagan to keep her baby in custody with her, taking into account the historical trauma suffered by Aboriginal people who were separated from their parents.

oh you gotta be fucking kidding me. she's getting leniency because people were mean to her on social media (what? how DARE her right to be unaccosted on social media for killing someone be infringed!), and some poor dumbass came inside her. Oh she is making progress in her "don't be racist" classes? so the fuck what??

nevermind she was driving on a suspended license, while drunk, killed someone, and then acts with racist intent to push blame off herself.

Un-fucking-believable. white female birther privilege. and then the AUDACITY of the judge to cite unethical treatment of aboriginals as justification for NOT punishing her? fuck this judge.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Alisha Fagan blew kisses to her family members and said "see you soon", as she was taken to the cells following her County Court sentencing on Friday.

She was travelling at 78 kilometres per hour, nearly 30kph over the speed limit, when she failed to give way at the intersection of Glengally Road and Links Street and slammed into a car driven by 69-year-old grandfather Sedat Hassan.

On Friday, she was sentenced to two-and-a-half years' jail for dangerous driving causing death, however Judge Scott Johns said he would impose an "unusually low" non-parole period of six months.

Judge Johns said Fagan had an "appalling recent driving record" in the lead-up to the crash, and that her actions had caused the death of a much-loved family member.

Since the crash, Fagan has attended a number of Indigenous rehabilitation programs and made "strong progress", the judge said.

Judge Johns said he would support an application by Fagan to keep her baby in custody with her, taking into account the historical trauma suffered by Aboriginal people who were separated from their parents.

I'm a bot and I'm open source!

It's weird how they talk about grandfather here without clarifying who is he a grandfather to (I thought it was her grandfather) and how grandfather is like a title or something. I would've expected it to be reported as "killed a year old man" or something

Please tell me she has had her drivers license disqualified for life.

Her?
