(UTV | AUSTRALIA) – An Australian man has received a 10-month jail sentence for filming and mocking police officers as they lay dying at a crash scene.
Last month Richard Pusey pleaded guilty to the rare charge of outraging public decency, as well as other offences.
The 42-year-old has already been in custody for nearly 300 days, so he will likely complete his sentence within days.
The sentencing judge called his actions “heartless, cruel and disgraceful”.
Still, families of the victims were disappointed with the length of the sentence in a case that has stirred huge public anger.
Last month, Judge Trevor Wraight said the media had demonised Pusey to the point where he was “probably the most hated man in Australia”.
