B.C. soft on drug kingpins

[JLM]

We have a case here of two international dealing drug miscreants, where at least one of proven guilty upon arrest and yet these two parasites are free on bail for three months instead of being immediately Gulagged and doing hard labour. When they tracked down the pair one of them was also found to have 13 kgs. of opium in his vehicle. Another case of a lawyer getting rich and a couple of felons getting a slap on the wrist.

Yup on bail until final day in court for sentencing. It's normal JLM

Or until all the appeals have been exhausted, while lawyers are making an even bigger haul.

You appeal from the hoosegow.

You appeal from the hoosegow.

That depends on how much you can pay your lawyer. It's not that uncommon to have bail continued while under appeal.

Look at that woman who was sentenced in the lower mainland for killing the four year old girl while impaired at the wheel. She was sentenced to 30 months and is now living in Nanaimo with her sister while awaiting the appeal process. (Hope it backfires and the bitch gets 30 years) :lol:

I agree with what you are saying, JLM, but I don't think it is 'BC' being soft on them so much as the court system and, as you say, their right to have a lawyer. Personally, I think they should be put on an iceberg up North and left to sink or swim. :smile:

I read over the article. Her lawyer filed appeal prior to sentencing that is why she is out. The cops and the crown screwed up. Ridiculous as it sounds the Crown and the cops have laws and procedures they must obey too.

Which just makes the system appear even more corrupt than I had previously recognized. :lol:

That much Opium is a drop in the bucket-those two aren't in any way kingpins more like pinheads.

There was nothing corrupt about it. They failed to do their job correctly. She wasn't read her rights immediately upon arrest, evidence was destroyed, the cops never gave her the roadside dance, she never blew and they never took blood.

**** like this happenes when the not so bright are hired by constabularies. If i were the living family of that girl and the wounded aunt I'd be all over the cops for doing such a piss poor job of investigating.

This isn't the fault of the courts or the system. This one fall square on the sholders of the Delta PD and the crown.

13kg is a ****load of dope. It's sold for $30 per 0.1gr. That's $3.9 million in dope.

Yep, but if the squeeze was put on their testicles the king pins could more than likely be located. :lol:

The king pins sit in the NATO command offices.

NATO = Need Another Tonne of Opium?

Your math sucks but that's to be expected-a 10th of a gram of Opium won't do much for anyone-I know because I've smoked the stuff.

If you mean $30/gram that's $30,000/kg X 13 isn't even a half million dollars-and that's spread out between all the different levels of distribution.

Keep trying Grampa.

When the just-us system fails it is time for the family to deliver justice on their own.
