It's an ignorant misrepresentation to blame Trudeau and the Liberals for this. It was a judicial decision, not a political decision, the executive branch of the government had nothing to do with it.

Actually they did. The court never set a dollar figure. That was trudOWE.The court case wasn't even completed yet.

Nice story.... too bad about the lack of even a single verifiable detail, but thanks anyway.

Not sure what the point of it is, regardless...


I'm going to see if I can google it. If I can I'll post it. In the meantime maybe best you tone thing down a bit lest you look really f**king stupid. :) :)

Sometimes it pays just to keep your f**king trap closed until all leads have been checked out. :) :) :)

Mr. Henry - joining a lengthening list of men who have been wrongfully convicted in Canada - was freed from custody less than an hour later. In remarks on the courthouse steps, he was gracious to "the good judges [who]propelled this into acquittal" and insisted he was not angry about spending nearly three decades in prison for crimes he did not commit.

I'm sure you're trying to make some point but I can't for the life of me figure out what it might be. Settle down and try and develop some coherence, you sound like a fool.


His point would basically be about you, for all intents and purposes, calling him a liar concerning the man wrongfully jailed for 30 years.

I'm not familiar with these dozens of cases so not sure...maybe new, relevant and compelling evidence?? Did any of these overturned convictions involve cases where people admitted to the crime and entered guilty pleas?

.


I gather you have been living under a rock. JLM specifically mentioned David Milgaard. Are you saying you have no idea who that is?

I thanked him/her for the story and asked several times what the relevance of it was relating to the courts definition of reasonable doubt. Maybe you could help, want to take a stab at it boss??

Nope. Not saying that, just wondering what the point is. Guess I'm going to have to keep wondering. Thanks for...uh. .. nothing.

What if Omar Khadr isn’t guilty?

In the third photo below, which shows Khadr receiving battlefield first aid (the graphic damage of his exit wounds are obscured), clearly visible is the dried blood from the shrapnel wound to his left eye. Khadr's face is coated in dirt, consistent with being buried in rubble.

Khadr could not have thrown the grenade and then completely buried himself under rocks and debris in just a few seconds before the special forces team arrived.
Of all the positions taken by the prosecution above, only (3) and (6) are consistent with the photographs taken in the immediate aftermath of the firefight. Neither version implicates Khadr. Version (3) is the incident report submitted by the senior officer on site the day after the battle, which completely exonerates him.

The f**king point is, Einstein, not ALL people who have been convicted of a crime are guilty! Khadr had a pretty compelling reason to plead guilty to murder (in exchange for stopping the torture and water boarding) I'm not saying he isn't guilty but until it's proven he is we have to err on the side of caution.

Hey, Gerry, I think there's a clue hidden away in his nom de plume, which could be Italian or Spanish for decapitated, which would account for the lack of a brain! :) :)

Guilt does nay matter, goodale sez khadr earned the $10mil because his charter rights were violated, I had no idea our charter protected us even if we take up arms against us in support of an enemy.
Hafta ponder the political spin if he had blown a canuck imbedded with u.s. troops to smitherines. Libs are expert at selling outhouse aromas as lavender but I feel rewarding a canuck for killing a canuck would challenge even trudough n' his hacks. Treason in canuckstan pays really well n' I'm sure the khadr clan appreciates our support.

I think a lot of people have to back up a step. In my mind Mr. Khadr hasn't been proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of killing anyone and apparently there is physical evidence to back this up.

Comprehension does not appear to be something you're capable of, haven't we already been over this? A plea of guilty satisfies the standard for reasonable doubt and thus a conviction.

He did it, he admitted to it, and he went away for it.
