A judge has told the Supreme Court in Newcastle, that sentencing a 19-year-old over the shooting death of a Raymond Terrace father, will be one of his most difficult decisions.
Proceedings began today for Daniel Forbes, who’s pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of 21-year-old Joshua Maynard at Raymond Terrace in June last year.
Judge Ian Harrison said that, in sentencing Forbes, he’ll take into account the teen has no criminal record, was otherwise of good character, and has a low likelihood of re-offending.
Forbes will be sentenced on December 16.

so hearing that Judge Ian Harrison is taking everything into account is great news,as so many others were there that morn along with many that new & they all keep quiet & let daniel take the fall.& who made the call ?
A mothers child died & a father died.
