Nuku'alofa, Tonga
Tu’ipulotu Palu received 12 months suspended sentence for two charges that included discharging a firearm with the intent to intimidate a group of noisy youths. He was drunk when he fired the 12-gauge shotgun. The judge, in considering that Palu is the sole carer for his son, stated, “It is all too often the case that the families of offenders suffer as much, if not more than the offenders.”
