Teen killed with Pickaxe in Queensland

[BlackArcher101]

LOL, so what WAS the intent then?

[FlamesAddiction]

What's the max sentence? The prosecutions recommendation sounds low. I'd like to see him get at least 20.

I throw bats into teenage crowds all the time. Whats the problem?

The problem is that, unlike you, not everyone throws like a girl.

I love how this dipsh*t is still trying to say it an accident. Sorry bud but accidents dont happen intentionally. Have fun getting raped in jail. You and your wish we were gangster friends should step infront of a bus and spare society.

Now that you mention it, I'm bringing a pickaxe to the next soccer practice I coach. "Win or else!"

I predict that 10 years from now you will have three kids. I sincerely believe that.

Deer Run / Deer Valley isn't really a surprise to me.

The sentence is Life. The 10 - 12 years would be his date of parole eligibility.

I despise kids like this. Wannabe gangstas that think for some reason it's cool to do what they do, and then act completely surprised when they get a life sentence for crashing somebodys party, resisting being asked to leave, and then Nolan Ryan'ing someone in the face with a pickaxe.

I've known people like this when I was younger - he'll, I still know people like this today -you can see from a mile away that they just have 'winner' stamped on their forehead.

In fact, the older they get, the more pathetic it gets.

Hope this guy gets the full prison experience for 15 years straight. Don't like it? Well then don't pickaxe somebody in the face.

[enthused]

My sister was friends with the guy who died, and a bunch of her friends were there when it happened. The axe definitely wasn't "tossed" into the crowd...

I'm not really sure how 10-12 years is a suitable punishment for something like this.

[Traditional_Ale]

I say we cut off his hands, attach pick-axes, and make him work in the mines for all that clean coal Ralph was talking about back in the day.

[Wood]

I know a few people who were at the party, and from what I know he fully intended to hit him with the axe, he didn't throw it. My friends girlfriend saw the incident and it really messed her up, she had to go to counselling for a while. I couldn't imagine seeing something like that. Hopefully the guy is locked up foras long as posible.

[Coach]

confusing a bat with a pickaxe? i was unaware that they were of a similar shape

"hmm this is a very top heavy bat. Should I throw it into that crowd of people? It won't hurt anyone."

Give me an effing break. I can't believe people actually buy this crap

Good grief, it's about time they actually sentence him.

I never knew Matt personally, but I knew so many of his good friends. I remember that night and the next few days like it was yesterday. A bunch of friends and I were going to go to that party, but decided not to and went back to a friends house to watch a movie instead. The next day I was with a few friends, including my best friend Melissa, who Matt had had a crush on for years, but she kept turning him down because she liked him too much as a friend, and wasn't ready to take their friendship to the 'next leve'. Anyways, she gets a phone call from her friend as we were eating, who I could hear from across the table balling on the phone, telling her that Matt had been killed the night before. She had no idea what to even think because she was so shocked, and we could tell that it didn't seem real at the time. The next morning we had skating and then drove to school. Her locker was in the hallway with all of her good friends (who were in grade 11 at the time), and we used to sit and talk until people would start showing up before school started. Well that morning was completely different. As I was sitting on the floor watching all of her friends go to their lockers and seeing each other for the first time since they all found out he was killed, everyone, boys and girls, just burst into tears. I knew a lot of the grade 11's through Melissa, and seeing how upset they were was just heartbreaking. I didn't even know Matt, but I had to get up and leave before I started crying. The whole day it was hard to look up when walking through the hallways without getting teary eyed. Everywhere there was people hugging others for support and kids with red puffy eyes from crying. I didn't attend his school, but the guidance counsellors had set up a room that people could go to to talk about what had happened, because not many people could stay throughout an entire class without having to get up and leave. In the next few days, I had heard stories from people who were there, including the girl who was trying to find his pulse after everyone had fled the scene, and she didn't even know who Matt was.

My mom got talking to a female cop sometime last year, months after the incident, and somehow they got onto talking about this subject. She had told her that she had encountered Miljevic and his friends wandering around Bonavista and had ticketed them for public drinking (if my memory serves me correctly, don't quote me on it). My mom also found out that she was the first officer on the scene, and she was also the one who had to break the news to Matt's father, Ken.

One thing that really bothers me, especially from the last I had heard, was that Miljevc had been working and was still free to do whatever. I don't know anything about the justice system in Canada, but this isn't the only time I have heard of people killing others and are still able to have a job and live how they used to, without being held up somewhere. A counsellor at a summer camp I work at was killed downtown about 2 - 2 1/2 years ago from a drunk driver T-boning his truck. Someone I know knew both the victim and the drunk driver, and he was still working up until his scentence last year (I think). I really don't understand why after killing someone, people don't get locked up right away, or put somewhere where they can't be a threat to others, because who knows if they could do the same thing over again.

It was amazing to see how many people Matt had influenced in his life. Even though I never knew him, it almost felt as if I did, simply by his reflection in others that I knew. It makes you realize that life is all we have, and no matter what it throws at us, we'll always be lucky to have it.

R.I.P Matt <3

Pickaxe killer gets life

Justice Earl Wilson handed a life sentence to convicted pickaxe killer Marko Mijevic for "a senseless and mindless" ending of "a vibrant young man."
"There is no conceivable reason for what he did to Matt McKay," Wilson said while delivering his sentence at Court of Queen's Bench today. "You not only murdered a human being - you destroyed so many lives"

Isn't the headline a little misleading though? I am not a lawyer, but I thought that 2nd degree murder (which I think he was already convicted of) gets you life for sure, but with a chance at parole earlier than 1st degree murder. In this case he has a chance at parole in 10 years...which is not even the harshest sentence that this could've been...

To tell you the truth, I have no clue. Where is troutman when you need him?
