Darwin man's sentence for fatal hit and run condemned

Published 22 July 2015, 8:20 am
Australia's Social Justice Commissioner has condemned the sentence handed down to a Darwin hit and run driver, and says there appear to be two sets of laws for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Territorians. There's been a public outcry over an 18 month suspended sentence and six months of home detention for Matthew Alexander who ran over an eight-year-old boy who later died in hospital. NITV News Journalist Danny Teece-Johnson has the story.
