So you go into a pub and punch a "mate" so hard that he "had to have five metal plates inserted into his face", leaving "the 28-year-old victim with severe injuries to the jaw, cheek, eye and nose"- injuries which according to 7 News tonight he may never fully recover from.
You would expect a gaol term of some sort- say 12 months, at least.
Not if you're an Olympic swimmer, as the ABC reports.
Sometimes the justice system in this country just really makes me wild.
Don't touch our sporting heroes, no matter how much they drink, bash other people or rape girls and women..
Compare that to Marcus Einfeld who was sentenced to two years for merely lying under oath- that's not to say I approve of what he did- but he was merely a former judge with no recognisable sporting talent.
So unfair.
