I want to hear more about Prue , the granddaughter of that guy Hetzel, who thought she was killed because he became an informer & snitched on Taylor. Another guy confessed however ,and it says he had nothing to do with Taylor or the Animals gang & the people he thought did it. How awful to believe he was responsible for her disappearance all those years...he may have been still responsible though, im sure he upset a lot of people over the course of a lifetime doing armed robberies even before he met Taylor in prison. . I wonder what really happened to Prue? I am going to try to find it. ..does anybody know anything about 13yr old Prues case?

Australian Crime Stories are so well produced. It gives insight to the people, places, culture, history... Its like NatGeo for crimes... but so sad all of the victims and endless heartbreak. This is serious stuff. But thanks anyways for bringing the real storiy!

I wouldn’t die on this hill, but I do think it’s wrong that the courts changed the law after he had been convicted and served his sentence. It sets a bad standard. If they’re gonna change the law, he should have been grandfathered due to the circumstances. Almost double jeopardy. Hate that it is in response to a heinous crime like this, but we cannot pick and chose. The law is there for a reason and should be upheld as written to prevent government overreach.

and what about dangling people through windows and such, never apologizing for it, and expect everyone else to not only apologize but pay heavily when they do wrong. What's got to be paid must be paid and it's not a one-way-only. This, and what you say, is too fucked up to leave any room for decency. I can only leave it to karma's doings.

Victoria Goverment did the same for Julian Knight, perpetrator of the Hoddle Street Massacre. (7 deaths, 19 injired).and amended the Corrections Act to keep him locked up untill he is at death's door.

Dan Andrews is the 'Law" and his crimes against Victorians - the ones that we know of - is just legalized crime... Teflon Dan does not like to be scrutinized too deeply and when he is, well, he trots out his mates from the judiciary and the tax payers pay for the cover up...

@Mordant.Melodys Жыл бұрын

@@basicdesign1 I get that. I realize he’s a monster. Like I said, won’t die on this hill. They neglected to charge him reasonably for those other offenses so he did pay for his crimes per the law. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not speaking of the nature of his crimes. It would be no different than committing tax fraud and serving 4.5 of your 5 years, just to have the courts decide they wanna make it a 10 year sentence and holding you. It’s a slippery slope. He’s a bad person, he deserves what he got, but it sets a precedence that allows for overreach and is allowing the government to say “yeah we don’t like you, 5 years wasn’t enough.”

@@fryan4159 not familiar with many cases out that way. I’m from the US. It’s not my country or situation to take a stance on. Just saying that if this happened in the US I’d be upset that the courts could essentially keep people incarcerated indefinitely by enacting laws that didn’t exist when incarcerated. I’ll look into that case though. It is an interesting concept. My thoughts are, if you are gonna lock someone up and give them a sentence, stick by it. If not, then let out prisoners who were sentenced longer sentences for crimes that have otherwise been decriminalized. Like people getting marijuana distribution charges that in 2023 would have gotten fines, for instance.

Thank you for the video upload! I’m in the US and it’s really fascinating to see how Australian police and court systems work. That acting teacher is so self absorbed and in love with the criminal, it would be funny if it weren’t an actual terror attack. I wonder if he would be so proud of this animal if one of his children were killed! What a joke! The host said it best: the families of the dead & injured need our prayers and support, not those vilest creatures!

Well, apparently 22 Haros Ave Nunawading, VIC, Australia no longer exists. The road ends at #18 on the even side and it becomes a really good sized Park. So i'm guessing the government bought up the house, tore it down, and add it to that Park.

You know. A lot of people don't like police. I am one of them but I never thought about harming them as they have a job to do. Yes there is corrupt cops specially here where I live in South Africa. Our law actually protects the criminals. It states you are not allowed to shoot even if his in your yard as you don't know if his armed. Back in 2006 I was working at a computer company. We heard a gun shot but we didn't think much off it. Later I went out for a smoke and there were like 40 police cars as the shot we heard was a traffic cop that got shot. The police didn't go to arrest the criminal. They went to shoot him on the spot and there were so many police that they couldn't say who shot them. As if they found out that cop would have been charged with murder. In my eyes that is justice as the cop they shot had a wife and young daughter.

@@paulgerard4503 There were only 500 of those cars made absolutely rare. Vs the 1000s of Australian police and the new intake of recruits each year. So yes I am more concerned about the car. Me and the police have never seen eye too eye anyway. We never have gotten along. It was an absolute tragedy that the anger towards police by Victor Peirce and his mates . A Peter Brock Special had too get caught up in all of it. It was a devastating day.
