No, this is not justice! He should have been found guilty of manslaughter! He should be doing time! no ifs, no buts!

This is a little close for me, so I will just comment that I feel distraught for the family of Patrick Reweti! A severe injustice!

The victim was stabbed and tried to flee before collapsing. The killer had the presence of mind to collect the body, wash the blood off the ground, place the victim in the footwell of the car and then burn the car and evidence. That indicates he may have been high but he damn well knew what he did was wrong and he tried to hide it.

100%. I said almost the exact same thing on X yesterday.

Justice is only a notion, there is no justice here. Not for the grieving whanau of this man. The High Court wankers are always going on about Tikanga, what would Tikanga look like in this situation?

An eye for an eye, or some other form of retribution? I bet you that the 'Courts' would step in if Tikanga equalled rough justice, they certainly wouldn't approve of it. Anyway it won't happen as Tikanga is only an airy notion reserved for the mental pygmies and lovies of the High Court. So there is no justice.
