Judges in Edmonton regularly release killers, without any jail time at all!!
Last week 3 punks involved in the murder of a teenager, got no jail time, just
probabtion!!
A former city engineer, stunting with his corvette who killed an innocent
pedestrian, also got no jail time because he was a supposedly good citizen.
Hell, a so-called judge, T.D.Clackson even ruled that a convicted murderer in
the Max Prison should be allowed to have a shiv, for his protection against
the guards!! {Kerr case]. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled basically that
Clackson was nuts, and overturned his ruling!! |
