What I see is that the lawyer has just hit the jackpot. The lawyer has been milking the system for some 3 years now, building a defence case on the hopes that he will be found innocent. If he is found guilty, the Brian Barish can then start the appeal process that can last for years, all on the tax payers dime, all paid by legal aid. Should Travis be found not guilty, the lawyer will still be able to defend Travis for life, because Travis will always be in trouble. Travis will never be able to pay his lawyer because it will find it difficult to fine employment, but he does not have to pay the lawyer, the tax payer keeps paying. Sounds like i and all of the tax payers in Alberta are at fault for any and all of Travis's crimes, and that includes Auntie Rachel and al of the NDP. Fault can be interpreted to those who pay for the crimes.
