Reputation: 2 (http://www.sammyboy.com/reputation.php?uid=5168) A former banker, Briton James Daniel Rhodes, 37, was sentenced by the court today (21 Nov) to 18 months’ jail for attacking three men during a Halloween party on 23 October 2010, 3 years ago.
District Judge Eddy Tham convicted Rhodes after an 8-day trial.
The court heard that Rhodes was invited to a Halloween house party at the Spinnaker condominium near Newton.
It was there that he got into an argument with Australian-Chinese Ronald Tan, 34. He was then asked to leave the party.
As one of the hosts, Guy Anderson Steward, escorted Rhodes out of the premise, both got into a fight inside the lift.
This charge was stood down.
As Rhodes was bleeding, he was allowed back to the house to clean himself up. Then, he was escorted out by another host, Kevin Michael Hubbard, 31.
As Rhodes was being ushered out, he punched Hubbard in the back of his head. He then turned to Tan and repeatedly punched Tan. Tan fractured his skull and died 14 months later, according to a ST report.
In mitigation, Rhodes’ lawyer argued that his client had “felt threatened at the party” and had “reacted in fear of his life”.
During sentencing, the judge pointed out that the attack caused a host of physical and psychological problems to the victims. He said the sentence must therefore reflect the gravity of the offences.
The judge also ordered Rhodes to pay a compensation of $32,000 to Tan’s mother. This is for medical expenses, loss of her son’s income and transport expenses.
He could have been jailed for up to 10 years and fined or caned.
Rhodes is appealing against the conviction and sentence.[/align]
