Ray Hadley slams 'weak-kneed' justice system for king-hit killer Kieran Loveridge's four-year jail term 'Everyone in NSW has had a gutful': radio host Ray Hadley. MORNING radio host Ray Hadley has joined a growing chorus of outrage at the four-year jail term handed to king-hit killer Kieran Loveridge. "I've had an absolute gutful, as has everyone in the state of NSW," 2GB host Hadley said after receiving news of the sentence from the station's court reporter today. Would it take Greg Smith's son to be killed? Barry O'Farrell's son to be killed before someone does something about it? What's it going to take men? You came to power to make change. This fellow that night picked up victims. Harmless people walking about the street, and the Supreme Court tells us it wasn't his intention to kill someone. Well what was he doing punching ... innocent people? We've got a weak-kneed Attorney General and Attorney General's department in NSW. Is Barry O'Farrell going to condemn judges ... or is he going to make changes to the system? Four years for taking the life of a beautiful, innocent and productive young man. Kathy Kelly, the distraught mother of Thomas, after learning of Loveridge's sentence today. Loveridge was sentenced today, having pleaded guilty to the king-hit manslaughter of 18-year-old Thomas Kelly during a spree of violence over an hour in Sydney's Kings Cross on the night of July 7 last year. Thomas' life support was turned off two days after the unprovoked attack. Loveridge is eligible for release on parole in November 2017. NSW Attorney General Greg Smith has asked the DPP to consider an appeal. The police union joined the calls for tougher penalties, saying the justice system is failing to deal with an epidemic of violence. For every Thomas Kelly there are dozens of drunken assaults that go unreported, the Police Association of NSW says. For every Thomas Kelly, dozens of bashings go unreported, says the police union. The union says Mr Kelly's family has been betrayed by the sentence. "It was absolutely poor and weak," union president Scott Weber said. It doesn't reflect what we should be doing out there, and that's protecting the community. The union says the jail term handed to Loveridge, 19, contradicts efforts to tackle alcohol-related violence, which they say is already under-reported. "For every alcohol-related crime that's reported in the CBD, there are others that aren't," Mr Weber said. There's numerous offences where people walk away or turn a blind eye. It's under-reported, but it's an epidemic. Just days before Loveridge's sentencing, a 34-year-old Brazilian man died after he was punched outside a bar in Haymarket. In June, Cremorne man Simon Cramp, 26, almost died when he was bashed by a group of men outside a fast food restaurant in the CBD. A month later, 33-year-old finance worker Matthew Blackmore was king hit while waiting for a taxi on George St. Doctors had to place him in an induced coma after the unprovoked attack left him on the footpath with fractured vertebrae. The police union says the community needs to address drunken assaults through prevention and deterrence. "Not only do we need to look at the sentencing, we need to prevent this from the start," Mr Weber said. Loveridge was sentenced today for the king-hit manslaughter of Thomas Kelly.
