Crime
2004 HSC
Crimes Old and New: A Day in the District Court
BY BRETT DARE, COURT REPORTER
In the first case of the day George was sentenced to 16 months gaol for stealing $300 from an elderly woman. The offence occurred on a busy street and the police were on the spot in less than a minute. George will be released in 2 months having already served
14 months in custody awaiting trial. At the end of this quick hearing George, who was unrepresented, made a confused and poorly prepared statement claiming that he needed the money to finance his alcohol addiction and to buy food. He claimed that his history of
mental illness made it very hard to find work. In a victim impact statement read out in court, the elderly woman told of her increased fear of leaving home and being in public places, which had affected her quality of life. In sentencing George, the judge commented that, based on the case of R v Grimes and evidence before the court, she could see no option but to gaol George.
In the second case lasting the rest of the day and after a year’s
intensive investigation by the police, Fred was found guilty under the new Computer Crimes Act 2003 of damaging the website of Big Bank. Fred hacked into the bank’s website and put in a computer virus. Fred’s lawyer told the court that Fred did not set out to steal and that he was part of an action group that believed that banks had too much power and needed to be taught a lesson. This matter became public when all the account details of Big Bank’s customers were shown on its website. The bank released a statement announcing that it would take legal action against Fred to recover the
$2 000 000 cost of fixing its website. Fred was never placed in custody and will soon start his 180 hours of community service. He is afraid that he will never be able to work in the computer industry again and will be ruined by Big Bank’s legal action to get its money back.
