From that list of the those with the most serious offences, it only looks like there are two who look like theymay still have part of a sentence to serve (the two 2015 offences) however I would presume that they were paroled after 6 or 7 years respectively and were subsequently transferred to immigration detention, to live out the rest of their days in purgatory prior to the NZYQ ruling.gangrenous wrote: ↑December 27, 2023, 1:32 pm Not seeing anything in there that’s convincing me the specific cases cited in the article are incorrect?
Have a look at the rest of them and you will note that the convictions will most certainly be served, especially given the applicability of immigration detention for the purposes of sentencing. More typical than the above two examples would be the case of the non-citizen convicted for 2-3 years but confined to immigration detention for much longer than that.
So my original point stands. The only thing causing the hyperventilation is citizenship status, not any tangible effects on community safety because, as I keep reiterating, even as I type this, a handful of Australian convicts will have been released into the community under the same circumstances (crime committed, sentence served) but none of the fanfare.
