Toronto man convicted of four counts of first-degree murder

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Correct, should be about justice, so hang the convict.

I used to be a pretty strong supporter of capital punishment. But I have started to think that its really not worth the effort. As long as they are in prison for the rest of their lives I think that is a fair punishment. The trick is to make sure that they do not get let out (I speak for 1st degree murder charges where somebody intentionally and with pre-meditation killed somebody) ever.

Prison would function much better if the inmates had to pay their own way.

What the fu ck does BHO have to do with a Canadian murder? Are you that fu cking stupid?

Your debonair side is showing (screaming) again Gerry.

The problem is more often than not they escape or are mistakenly released.

Notice the brainless twat can't answer the question. It was a very simple question. His silence just proves his mental capacity is only exceeded by his di ck size, and like most right wing white zealots, that would be about 3".

I see you're trying to out do walter. You have anything to back up this little "fact" of yours? Or is this another one that you just pulled out of your a$$.

Expand your mental capacity... :lol:

I doubt it would help walter the di ckless wonder.

First, you do know what "more often than not" means right? It means you are asserting that prisoners escape or are mistakenly released MORE OFTEN than they serve their sentence. This means that over 50% of convicted inmates, who should still be behind bars, are roaming free at any given time.

Even if this was true, I think it is easily countered with the innocent man who is mistakenly executed.

Please note that at no time did I say they should be released or free or treated specially. Just that they should be locked up for the rest of their lives.

I know they should but I think once they've served 25 years and have a record of good behaviour and have done all that's requested toward their rehabilitation at very least they have to have a parole hearing. Perhaps the "more often than not" is not strictly correct but it seems to me hardly a month goes by when some dangerous offender is on the loose.

Can't speak for BC but it is a rarity in Ontario.

I know that they can get released on parole after 25 years. I would like to change that to make 1st degree murder a true life sentence.

I'm of two minds about it. I wonder if the sentence shouldn't be comprised of three phases- punishment, reflection and rehabilitation. Some murderers are more easily rehabilitated than others. Some manage to turn their lives around in a relatively short time and go on to lead productive lives. In many cases the victim of the murder was just as f**ked up and criminally involved as the perpetrator. What sentence is a appropriate for a man who with full intent murders a guy who has raped his daughter or provided her with drugs?

Agreed though in practice it probably wouldnt make much of a difference. Sure they can get a hearing after 25 years but realistically they have next to no chance of getting out.

Now thats just mean.
