Killing ‘particularly heinous’<\/p>\n
Submissions were made by prosecutors and his lawyers about what penalty the teenager should receive, taking into consideration Queensland’s previous youth justice legislation in place at the time.<\/p>\n
Both legal parties agreed the killing should be found to be particularly heinous, which would allow for a sentence higher than the previous maximum of 10 years.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Chief Justice Helen Bowskill made that finding, and also found the teenager had special circumstances, including his youth, early guilty plea and prospects of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
Because of this, she reduced the amount of time he must serve in custody from the maximum of 70 per cent of his sentence, down to 60 per cent.<\/p>\n
With time already served, the teenager will be released in 2033.<\/p>\n
