Domestic violence – truth in sentencing
Eligibility - Queensland citizens18 Sutherland Street
CALLIOPE QLD 4680
The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the proposed parole review for Shaun Ross Andrew who was sentenced to a period of 30 years for the brutal murder of his ex partner, Joelean Lee Watson, and he attempted murder of his two year old daughter, Makayla. This review comes only 15 years into a life sentence which, if granted, would show callous disregard for both the family of Joelean and the reasonable expectations of the community.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to support truth in sentencing principles whereby this perpetrator who violently ended Joelean's life and attempted to kill his own child serves the full sentence imposed which reflected the severity of his actions.
