Every judge I've encountered in Canada has been amazing. Even for my troubled son.

@SUNMichaelPlatt
Defence still calling #Garland the "accused". Isn't "the killer" more accurate at this point? #yyc

"That she explained it to her child? What is the issue with that?" says Gates of defence issue with Nancy Liknes statement #Garland

Raffy BoudjikanianVerified account ‏@CBCRaffy 1m1 minute ago
Justice asks what is objection to next statement: about one victim explaining the killings to her child. #Garland

Too bad the Liknes couldn't remove parts of the crimes committed against his family.

Seems like this is the most the defense has done the entire trial. SMH.
