Australian bushranging Gardiner trial and long sentence
In the Cuarren VIII case the jury finds Gardiner guilty on the second count with intent to do grievous bodily harm. He pleads for mercy, claims witness misstatements, and notes past life choices. Justice sentences him to 15 years hard labour for armed robbery, plus seven and ten year terms, totaling 32 years, with complex implied further developments and a hoped but shadowed release.
