Guarantee you he will be back

The Herald reports:

An “unrepentant, life-long member of the Mongrel Mob” who punched his pregnant partner unconscious has been handed a get out of jail card – but it comes with a condition.

James Meha Te Ruruku Elkington, who has 16 children and now 13 family harm incidents next to his name since September 2020, must sign up to rehabilitation programmes aimed at getting his life back on track.

He has 16 children!! Sadly most or all of them will turn like their father. I can guarantee you he has not been working to support them, as most fathers do. Almost beyond doubt the taxpayer is supporting the all.

And he has 13 family harm incidents in under two years, and the judge thinks he just needs another chance!

The assault, which left her with two black eyes, happened only months after he was sentenced to prison on charges related to serious abuse against his partner culminating in strangulation, while subject to sentencing on similar charges.

Lovely guy.
