1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: We are joined by Ebanie Raymond who is just covering

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: the court proceedings this morning or the sentencing of Keith

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: karen Ola and joins me on the line. Good morning

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: to you, Ebanie.

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie.

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 3: How are you going there?

7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Not too bad? Ebanie? What have you heard this morning

8
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: at that sentencing?

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's been a big morning in anti Supreme

10
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Court this morning with Keith Karennua being sentenced to the

11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: mandatory life sentence of twenty years with a minimum years

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: of twenty is non parole. That was backdated to March twentieth,

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, so the twenty year old will be

14
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: thirty nine years old when he's released from prison.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: And Ebanie, was there much of a reaction inside the

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: court as that sentence was handed down?

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say there was as much reaction inside obviously.

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Keith karen NWA's family obviously devastated, you know, with the

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: whole outcome of the situation, so they made their emotions

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: quite clear when they left the court room.

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 3: Declan Love and his dad was actually present in court

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: this time, and yeah you could. Yeah, he didn't speak

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: to the media, but yeah, it was a lot. It

24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: was a little bit more reserved in court the last time.

25
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: When the verdict was announced, it was obviously quite a

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: big ye. Quiet, Yeah, there's a range of emotions.

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Ebanie, when that sentence was handed down, was

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: there was there much detail provided in terms of the

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 1: reason behind the sentence that was given.

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so obviously the judge he spoke about you know,

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: obviously he spoke about the actual events that occurred on

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: the night of Declan stubbing.

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: He also went into a.

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: Bit of detail about Keith Karen was prior offending. The

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: court actually heard that Keith Karen was involved in an

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: assault with friends about an hour before he went to

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: the BWS to start Blavity. Now, this didn't actually affect

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: the sentencing as a whole, because the judge was satisfied

39
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: that the offending of stabbing dec On Lavedy did sit

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: in that middle range of offending. So yeah, therefore he

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: was sentenced to just that twenties. But however, the prosecution

42
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: they were trying to push for a longer sentence than

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: that mandatory twenty years.

44
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: And I mean, was there hard I don't know whether

45
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: you can answer this, but was there any remorse shown?

46
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: Well, I can actually speak on the judge's behalf with

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: this one, because he was speaking to Karenua during his sentencing.

48
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: He said that Karen Nua hasn't shown any remorse, or

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: he believes that Karen Nuwa hasn't shown any remorse and

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: hasn't accepted responsibility for his actions. However, he does hope

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: his time in prison gives him that time to reflect

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: and hopefully come out of better man.

53
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Well, Ebanie, we really appreciate your time this morning. Thank

Speaker 1: I let you go. Was there anything much else that

59
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: the judge had to say in those sentencing remarks?

60
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he did.

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: His sentencing remarks were actually fairly long, so he did

62
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 3: speak a lot about the incident of the night. He

63
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: also spoke about in regards to Keith Karen's prior and

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: he said that even though he's got a limited.

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: History, it is a nasty one. And he said that

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: you know, the sentence that he's given must, you know,

67
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: reflect on his actions, and you know it must you know,

68
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: other people interest, the community's safe on top of everything

69
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: else as well.

70
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,720
