Modern "justice"

A woman who helped send her former partner to prison for 10 months after lying in court has escaped with 50 hours community service. ... Her lies under oath helped convict Robert "Bob" Sutton of two rapes, four assaults with a weapon and nine assaults on a number of people that saw him jailed in November 2005.

... With the support of his loyal customers, he is making back some of the $140,000 he forked out for solicitors and wages while he was in jail.

So she lies, costs him 10 months in jail and $140,000 in legal fees and lost wages and winds up getting sentenced to community service for roughly 0.66% of the time he spent in jail.
