Sydney actor Blake Davis has been sentenced to five years and three months for the samurai sword killing of a man who attacked him during a botched home invasion.
Key points:

Blake Davis received a non-parole period of two years and nine months
In sentencing, the judge accepted it was a "horrifying experience" for Davis
His partner Hannah Quinn will be sentenced as an accessory after the fact to manslaughter next month

The 31-year-old was last year cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter by a jury over the August 2018 death of rapper Jett McKee.

Armed with knuckle dusters and a replica gun, McKee punched Davis and threatened his girlfriend Hannah Quinn in their inner-city granny flat at Forest Lodge.

The court heard Quinn chased McKee down the street after he snatched her bag and when her boyfriend caught up to them, he cracked McKee's skull with the sword.

Justice Natalie Adams sentenced Davis to a non-parole period of two years and nine months behind bars.

"I am left with no doubt that the lives of both the McKee family and the Davis family have been shattered forever as a result of the events that occurred on Hereford Street, Forest Lodge," she said.

Davis's eyes welled up as he learned his fate, while Quinn looked on anxiously from the public gallery with relatives.

That's obscene. If he were my neighbor, I'd shake his hand and thank him.

The issue was probably ' ........... Quinn chased McKee down the street after he snatched her bag and when her boyfriend caught up to them, he cracked McKee's skull with the sword. ........ '

Quinn need not have given chase.

It would have been legal in Texas. I don't encourage killing people over stuff, but sometimes things need to be recovered. If my wife's purse was stolen, I'd give chase. Simply because that waste of human flesh now has my wife's identification with home address, her credit cards, maybe her gun, and the keys to my house and every car I own. He is running off with a custom home invasion kit for my house. It's about my family's safety and not just a few missing dollars.

It's sad when we have to consider programmable electronic home locks and kill switches for our cars. That's what I'd do if my keys and address were stolen. (A kill switch is a hidden switch that needs to be depressed in order to start your car.)

In Australia -
your home is the home invaders workplace.
It has to be made safe for the worker or it's against the law.

In the wild West that home invader would have been hanged in public.

How many miles down the road is the home owner permitted to travel to kill the home invader....
Some people on this forum just dont understand the law....

Agree that chasing him down the road then smashing him over the head with a Samurai sword wasn't a very wise choice.

0 miles.
