Staff69 Hypersonic November 21, 2013 Share November 21, 2013 A Briton, who got into a fight at a Halloween party, was jailed for 11/2 years on Thursday. James Daniel Rhodes, 36, was convicted of causing grievous hurt to Mr Ronald Tan, an Australian. Mr Tan, 34, fractured his skull during the fight and died 14 months later. Rhodes was also ordered to pay $32,000 in compensation to Mr Tan's mother. This is for medical expenses, loss of her son's income and transport expenses. Rhodes, a former bank officer, was also found guilty of punching Mr Kevin Michael Hubbard, 31, an interior designer, at the same party. He is appealing against the conviction and sentence and is out on bail of $25,000. During the trial, Deputy Public Prosecutor Sanjiv Vaswani told the court that Rhodes had been invited by a friend to the party on Oct 23, 2010 at The Spinnaker condominium near Newton. There, Rhodes got into an argument with Mr Tan. The Briton was told to leave but traded blows with one of the hosts in the lift. He was brought back to the apartment to change his bloodied shirt for a fresh one but while being ushered out again, he assaulted Mr Hubbard before punching Mr Tan in the face.

Joseph22 Turbocharged November 21, 2013 Share November 21, 2013 (edited) Manslaughter not murder. Title misleading. Anyway he was convicted for causing harm not manslaughter as the person die after 14 months. Unless the prosecutor change the charge to manslaughter it's just law.

As much as I think there should be changes to the judiciary system, we have to play fair in the light of facts. When you buying new condo?

The person didn't die on the spot but months later. So charge cannot be manslaughter. Plus its a real drunk fight incident. Nothing to do with Ang mo or local. Btw notice both are foreigner. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baal Supersonic November 21, 2013 Share November 21, 2013 though neither murder not manslaughter, I feel that if the aggressor was locally born & bled, it would still have been much heavier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
