Doing an Oswald.

TV3 News this p.m.
Chris Kahui gets bail .... because: he is a first time offender, and he has to remain in his cell for 23 hours and only comes out for exercise, and is at risk of getting a 'damn good hiding,' and believe it or not, because the judge (in his infinite wisdom) deems this to be "disproportionately severe."
.... now do I not recall accurately, two babies being ported to graves in extremely small coffins??? ... disproportionately severe?
Presumably there is a pretty substantive basis for this person being charged with murder?

Those who are somewhat aghast at both of these announcements may just have a point.

"The family of a woman butchered to death by her jealous ex-partner is outraged the double-killer (Reihana) will receive a $1 million life-saving operation and after-care while in jail."


"Kahui, the man accused of murdering his three-month-old twin sons has been granted visits to his toddler son Shane."
