Calls to change Queensland’s laws after Mason Lee’s killer handed a nine-year sentence

HE BRUTALLY beat his baby stepson and left him to die in agony, but William O’Sullivan could walk free in a few years.
QUEENSLAND’S sentencing laws must be rewritten to ensure criminals like the man who killed toddler Mason Jet Lee get what they deserve, a child protection advocate says.
Bravehearts founder Hetty Johnston is appalled by the nine-year sentence handed to Mason’s stepfather, who beat the 22-month-old so severely his organs ruptured.
The child was left in agony for days as he slowly died, with William Andrew O’Sullivan doing nothing to help the boy.
