Poklek also pleaded guilty to publishing obscene videos for gain, as well as possession of indecent images of children and possession of ketamine.
uhhhh, how about getting him more than 2 fucking years??
The judge said Poklek would be released after serving about a third of his prison sentence under the Sentencing Act 2026, and called for longer sentences for animal abuse, which currently has a five-year maximum.
People get more than that for having a fucking joint on them in some places. Why do we as a society consistently give the worst of the worst light sentences?
Can they not try him for multiple counts of animal abuse? In the US, for some crimes, you’d stack the charges, a sentence might be for 3 years, but with 4 counts of the crime you’d be looking at more like 12.
Yeah, the punishmentd does scale up the more you have committed a crime before being caught. But it still cannot exceed the maximum specified in the law.

Fucker probably has money.

Even in the US most sentences don’t stack consecutively like this. In many other countries, they never stack like this.
The US is an outlier, most countries cannot do this. Because otherwise you could be jailed for years if you shoplift ten times or something.
The upper limit is usually only used for sentencing if it’s a repeat offender or if occured multiple times.
Well with shoplifting, aren’t the penalties correlated with the value of the items stolen?
And if you then went on to do it again the next day, and got cought, I imagine the combined value of the stolen items would be considered in the case.

Why is there a maximum for animal abuse? That’s crazy to me…
