Daniel Keneally served 15-month intensive correction order after being found guilty of fabricating evidence

3 weeks less jail time than the poor sod he stitched up

Different rules for the ruling class.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The disgraced police officer son of former senator and NSW premier Kristina Keneally has avoided jail time for fabricating evidence that put an innocent man behind bars.

Daniel Keneally, 25, appeared to hyperventilate after he was handed 15-month intensive correction order on Thursday and sentenced to serve 200 hours of community service.

But in a formal statement, Keneally falsely quoted Mr Moore as saying he was coming for a Goulburn detective "when he least expects it" and wanted him "off the planet", saying the policeman was "dead" and "good as gone".

In October, Keneally was charged with one count of fabricating evidence with intent to mislead a judicial tribunal, an offence carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years behind bars.

He denied the charge, telling the court he might have accidentally mixed up comments Mr Moore made on a website with his recollection of the phone conversation.

Keneally insisted he did not purposely include false material in his statement, telling the court he was tired and struggling to cope with his job.
