Killer of RNZ journalist released, despite still being high riskThe man jailed for almost 13 years for killing RNZ journalist Phillip Cottrell has been released, despite still being high risk and disengaging with rehabilitation. The senseless and pointless killing of RNZ Journalist Phillip Cottrell was made worse by the gormless swagger and bravado of the immature man child Nicho Waipuka during the trial and afterwards. Nicho was sentenced to 12 years and 10 months and because of a quirk of National Party vengeance, he manages to exemplify all that is wrong with our prison system. What makes Nicho so terrifying is that in all the years inside prison, he has not done one day of rehabilitation. An endless loop of hate, revenge and suffering and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering, and more hate, revenge and suffering on and on and on it goes.
