It took an Englishwoman(Falconio's girlfriend) to bring about Murdock's conviction & an Englishman to do likewise to Milat.(Paul Onions)who refused the reward.

Both will never see the outside and have to remain in protective isolation for their rest of their lives. I'm told that Watt's colostomy bag gives him a lot of problems, I foresee Cowan requiring a colostomy bag in the near future... Obviously the food in gaol mustn't be much good. |

We're all in consensus for the lack of sentenced time this filthy low life grub got. Non parole period is just that - just means he applies for it, doesn't mean he gets it. I don't think anyone will forget about this mongrels acts in 20 years time. I, alike the most of you had no idea of his previous convictions, part of the fair trial system we have in this country. I have no argument with that - he has a right to a fair and just trial by jury. No doubt the judge and prosecution had knowledge of this scums previous though.
A couple of previous posters noted that Cowan had committed the crime in 2003 and that time attracted different penalty restraints (as I understand it), and that maybe a Daniel law could be enacted. Too late for young Daniel's case but I'm all for it. The QLD government recently and rapidly introduced tough legislation and penalties regarding biker gangs and affiliations - I think it took all of 3 weeks to shovel it through parliament and enact the new laws. There was and still is legal opposition to these laws. The above speed of government legislation and the fact that no thinking person would oppose mandatory term of natural life/never to be released sentences for vile scum of the likes of Cowan would be very befitting of a Daniel's law. Well worth taxpayer money to have them off the street for good. Different case, different state - it's likely that the innocent Jill Meagher (VIC) would still be alive if parole boards and government had the ******* balls to act hard on repeat offenders. Cheers!

the confession, even though it was obtained by trickery , was not what convinced my he is Guilty ! The part about him leading the coppers to the site where he disposed of that Child , and the coppers found what they did ....... Is what led me to believe he is guilty! talk about tricks and false confessions all you want ! There is no getting past the fact that sick #*@% knew exactly where Daniel was .

This is the problem 20 years time, the parole board will see him as a harmless old man. 20 years is a long time and his crime won't have as much hatred as it dose now. As their will be others between now and then. They say time is a healer, well it's also a forgetter, if that's even a word.

I am not trying to paint a fluffy picture here and I do hope Cowan spends the rest of his natural life in jail, but below are facts from the trial: Cowan said in his testimony that he did not have time to molest the boy. Until Cowan's admission, paedofile, Douglas Jackway was under suspicion by the police. Cowan has had previous dealings with Jackway. Cowan was offered "millions" by the undercover gangsters, Barrister Angus Edwards said in closing statements. "Do you think you could make up a convincing lie for millions of dollars?" he asked jurors, adding: "They are powerful inducements for a man like Cowan. Had no money, no place to live." I just hope that justice has been served up the correct way and the 20 year sentence is increased.................. .

Bring back mental institutions. Nutters need to be taken off to "hospital" long before they get to this stage of offending.

Good to see that Bleijie can do something about this animals sentence. I mean he can give a bikie 25 years for a fight, surely he can give a repeated sex offender more.

And there is still one person worse than this murdering piece of scum, and that's the lawyer who tried to convince the jury he didn't do it.
Makes my skin crawl.

Is anyone else watching this 60 minutes report? it is making my blood boil to the point that i nearly need to turn it off.
What gets me is the amount of "Cowans" that are in society free to roam right now. Police had 8 suspects with very colorful history in the area he went missing, how many are abusing right now? I wont go into detail but having some experience second hand through this kind of thing, i believe only one in 10 abused children would speak out, if that. There is a case i was closely following in 2012 of a man that was convicted for abusing 28 children and only got 15 years. This is a huge problem and i struggle to think what i would do to an abuser if my child was abused. I actually feel sick thinking about all this stuff again, what drives people to do this! |

They definitely need to massively increase the sentences of repeat offenders.

If you feel strongly about a national public sex offender register get over to Darren Hinch's web site and sign his petition about this exact thing, I don't always agree with darren but im 100% behind him on this issue, |

But the way I see it, he has a job to do, he has to do the best job he can by law. If not, I'm guessing he would be liable for mal-practice. Again, just my guess, as I have no idea how that side of the law (defence) works. |

I cant watch things like the 60 minutes full on report into it, just infuriates me. I'm of the opinion that sex offenders especially child molesters should be put down like the dregs of society they are.

Repeat offenders need PAEDOPHILE tattooed across their forehead, so everybody can see the danger. Any other dangerous hazard has to well signed, then why aren't they?

Or just a bullet to the head. John Bunting and Robert Wagner had the right idea before they got carried away and started on innocent people. With some luck this scum will receive some inside justice similar to Barrie Watts.

One has to look at the high profile scum that's been involved in the Scotland Yard's operation Yewtree. There is now clear evidence of peodofiles operating under the "protection" of high ranking judiciary and high profile establishment people who themselves are peodofiles.
How disgusting is this, in the UK there was a political party set up to try and make child abuse legal! http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paedo...ation_Exchange No doubt there are like minded scum here in Australia, I feel the current Royal Commission hasnt been allowed to look in all the right places. I wonder why? |

As repugnant as Cowan is, and his crime is, everyone deserves a proper defence. Imagine if he had been innocent? No defence lawyer would mean he would pretty much be shafted by the system. Defence lawyers are a much needed cog in the court system. To suggest a defence lawyer is worse than a child molesting murdering sack of **** is repugnant in itself. I would hope you are never in need of a defence lawyer.... |

The sentencing judges says in the sentence that he is a monster and no chance of rehabilitation. Then gives a life sentence with 20 year non parole. It is a complete joke. he should have NEVER been given a chance of getting parole and the chance to walk the streets again even being in 20 years or more. He should rot in jail or better still the guards leave his cell door open and let some real justice take place |

On the news this morning they said he is being targeted in jail. Let's hope this continues every day for the next 20 years, or until he either dies from his injuries or kills himself.

He's a high profile prisoner. His crime determines that. He'll get protective custody

So your saying that the lawyer who has committed no crime is worse than someone who actually committed the crime?
