Man rammed police as punishment, court told - Video

Can I put in two cents worth... I worked under Klein and I have to say he was an amazing man. He was a an absolutely brilliant Electrical Engineer and an inventor. He used to rage about the North Shore pony and how he made a timing device for them. He is the inventor of a LOT of the exhibits you enjoy at the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) and he has done more work for other museums. Klein was in the process of creating a cheap and fast blood analyser that if completed would have saved the life/reduce suffering for a lot of people. Yes he lost the plot, but he's not your average criminal... he's done so many good deeds. I'm not saying let him free but he deserves a fair trial and he doesn't deserve all the comments left on this page.

Its simple, the nice old man who was meters away from home lost his life to soon because this pathetic excuse for a justice / mental health system in NZ is to PC! I don't know if victim had a wife? He would have had a family, and how would you like this to be done to your dad, or grandad..... The guy stands in the court and he just looks insane! People like this need serious attention and this should never be done out in the local society. Keep them alive to avoid the dramas of getting rid of these creeps! Use tax payers money, as I know id rather pay to have this guy kept out of my way on the roads or where he may want to go! You cant help those who are wired loose!

I think that the 'not guilty by reasons of insanity' plea is such a heap of shit. Even if he was one skittle short of a lolly bag, is letting him take a life and get away with it fair? After all he seems to have a superiority complex from the 'punishing the police' thing. He'll probably think he's god now because he's going to get away with murder.
