Justice for Victims of Violence
The issue
Danny Hodgson (25) was walking home after a sporting function when he was coward's punched at Perth Train Station by a 17 year old boy who already had a criminal charge for assault pending against him. Danny fell to the floor and his head hit the footpath with a crack so loud bystanders said it " was like a tree branch breaking". As a result Danny's life has been forever changed with him needing painstaking rehabilitation and the knowledge his family will never again have their son "as they knew" him. The offender has been given a sentence that could see him released after only 22 months. This petition will give the people of Western Australia the chance to let the Government know they are appalled by the lenient sentences that have historically been passed down by the judicial system in this state. I hope that maybe the message will be received by the people who have the power to change laws and ensure the perpetrators are sentenced appropriately. Thank you.
