I don't think so, I feel like he's been pretty affected by this trial.Hopefully this judge is no bleeding heart.

I'm unclear on whether the Judge (assuming there are 3 guilty verdicts) would impose consecutive sentences or concurrent. I'm assuming it's up to the Judge's discretion, but the guidelines seem to indicate that if all 3 crimes are considered to be one act, it would be a concurrent sentence. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Canad...entences/Concurrent_and_Consecutive_Sentences
"Sentences may be imposed consecutively in relation to a single transaction where the punishments protect "different societal interests" or "different legal interests".[SUP][5][/SUP] A judge should consider the time frame within which the offences occurred, the similarity of the offences, whether a new intent or impulse initiated each of the offences and whether the total sentence is fit and proper under the circumstances.[SUP][6]"
So with that in mind - the judge could argue that he is a danger to both children and adults - those being 2 different legal interests? [/SUP]
I thought that was changing now that the laws have changed to allow consecutive sentances?It's almost always concurrent. What we have to hope for in this case is dangerous offender status in which case he will never walk free.

My personal experience in that same age group, having lived in a town at one time that was connected to a high profile media event, it might be that small town people tend not to be anxious to blab their stories to MSM when it's known the topic relates to tragedy, scandal and sensationalism. They just don't see that it's the general public's business, it's private thing discussed only amongst locals. Airdrie's not a small town any longer but it was when Garland was younger.
Another reason for public silence may also be out of respect towards Garland's family, his parents and sisters. If so, that's an admirable reason imo.
What does "in camera" mean
Not to open court
That is exactly why I did not say the name of the person who was hit and hurt in the Hartley accident. Aetna is just a hamlet and the people are protective of one another. My friend had asked me not to use his name as the Hartley family were upset when they were approached by the press. We passed his farm the other day. The buildings sit empty now and a Hutterite Colony farms the land. I know he would be retired now but I don't know where he went.
Naw.Watch G change his plea...
