Wasn't there a thread on this very subject yesterday, but with an opening comment about the possibility of an appeal.
Maybe before someone (again) goes too far, this thread is removed like the previous one, or is this a test of self restraint.

I'm guessing that it was Tim's thread that was moved because of what it descended into. What are the chances of history repeating itself.
FWIW, I don't know the guy so can't make comments about his character but from the report that they were warned about the issues well in advance of the fatality would suggest he has got off lightly!
I think he got off relatively lightly. I was expecting about two years and by some accounts so was Holland's co-defendent Grant Oakes. I think Holland would be foolish to appeal. Doing so runs the risk of his sentence being increased. If I was him I'd just keep my head down and do the time. His troubles aren't over anyway as I believe the victim's family are bringing a civil case against Holland. Any appeal made by Holland now could be interpreted as a lack of remorse. That in turn could affect the verdict or judgement in the civil proceedings and any damages awarded could be higher as a result.
