"I wanted capital punishment to be brought back in but that was never going to happen so take what today was and start moving on," he said.Nine years jail for Melbourne wife killer Borce Ristevski Handing down the Court of Appeal's decision, Chief Justice Anne Ferguson said the case was difficult to compare to others.
" did more than maintain his right to silence. He took active steps to avoid discovery of his crime and how the death was caused," Justice Ferguson said. All three appeal judges disagreed with the original assessment but one, Justice Phillip Priest, said he would have re-sentenced the killer to 12 years' jail, with a non-parole period of nine years.
