sweet baby jesus i thought i was on a time out, tapatalk is having issues. I had to bust out the lap top. That was scary!!!!!! how hard it was to remember my password. i need wine.

Is that a Haiku?

:laughing:

My only input to offer is the Bernardo case - https://www.thestar.com/news/crime/...awyer-for-victims-families-vows-to-fight.html
The rest is just stuff I think I know, so I will keep that out of here.

See, that is what confuses me. He at least has the possibility for parole. I would rather see a life sentence with no parole option, ever.

Gates has now resumed giving his instructions to the jury in the #Garland trial. Legal issues needed to be discussed, resulting in delay.

Kevin MartinVerified account ‏@KMartinCourts 31s31 seconds ago
If jurors find #Garland caused the victims' deaths their next step will be to determine if it was as a result of an unlawful act, says Gates

I find it a bit odd that legal discussions are still happening. I'm thinking they wanted to go over Nathan's Decision Tree because his is different. Crossing all the t's and dotting all the i's.

Judge Gates discussing the issue of causing an "unlawful death" Crown must prove deaths were not an accident #Garland #yyc

Bill GravelandVerified account ‏@BillGraveland 43s44 seconds ago
Gates says if jurors believe they were assaulted the jury needs to go to the next stage - whether Douglas #Garland was responsible.

Kevin MartinVerified account ‏@KMartinCourts 51s52 seconds ago
If jurors don't find #Garland unlawfully caused the deaths then they will have to acquit him, says judge.

Next step for jurors to consider on the decision tree is whether #Garland had the intention to commit murder, says Gates.

If #Garland killed victims through unlawful act but didn't have murderous intent jurors will have to convict of manslaughter, says Gates.

Nancy HixtVerified account ‏@NancyHixt 1m1 minute ago
Gates:"you will have to use your common sense" to decide if #Garland intended to cause the deaths of Alvin & Kathy Liknes and Nathan O'Brien

Meghan GrantVerified account ‏@CBCMeg 1m1 minute ago
Gates: Intention is a state of mind...use your common sense to infer from evidence because you can't read minds #Garland

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 1m1 minute ago
"you should look at Mr. #Garland words and actions before and after" the offence, to help them decide what he meant and didn't mean to do

Bill GravelandVerified account ‏@BillGraveland 1m1 minute ago
Or that "Mr. #Garland meant to cause bodily harm...likely to kill Alvin Liknes, Kathryn Liknes or Nathan O'Brien.

Kevin MartinVerified account ‏@KMartinCourts 2m2 minutes ago
#Garland would either have to intended deaths, or grievous harm likely to cause death to be convicted of murder, says Gates.
