A deserved sentence
Stuff reports:
An Auckland man found guilty of threatening to kill Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her family has been sentenced to 12 months imprisonment.
Michael Christopher Cruickshank previously denied sending three emails on January 21, 2020 having already sent 89 emails between October 2019 and January 2020.
Court documents said the emails amounted to harassment and to “cause Jacinda Ardern to fear for her safety (or) the safety of her family”.
On Thursday at the Auckland District Court, Judge Brooke Gibson sentenced Cruickshank to 12 months imprisonment.
Good. We should have zero tolerance for death threats against MPs.
