Default Triple Father's Day killer wins appeal

Quote:
FROM NINEMSN.COM.AU
The man jailed for killing his three children by driving them into a dam has had his conviction quashed and will face a fresh trial.

Robert Farquharson, 40, was appealing his sentence of life in jail with no parole for the murders of Jai, 10, Tyler, seven, and Bailey, two.

The three drowned when he drove them into a dam near Winchelsea in Victoria's south-west on Fathers Day 2005.

Victorian Court of Appeal judges, Chief Justice Marilyn Warren and justices Geoffrey Nettle and Robert Redlich, ruled that his conviction be quashed, his sentence set aside, and that he face a new trial.

This makes my blood boil...
I've driven past the site of this horrific incident....
There is no way that the car ended up in the damn by accident...
And there is no way that any SANE parent would be able to leave their kids in the car while they got out themselves...

I'd die trying to save my own kids.... And i'd have been swimming in and out of the damn tryin to do it until I drowned myself....

Anyone else's thoughts??

The guy's an oxygen thief and he'll get what he deserves one day.

He must face a new trial.

They stuffed up the trial procedurally which may later have allowed him to to go free.

He has not been freed, just will be tried again.

He definately did it, headlights were switched off before the car hit the water, and it would have had to be steered to get into the dam, he even went around a tree.
