Deceased/Not Found Canada - Alvin, 66, & Kathy Liknes, 53, Nathan O'Brien, 5, Calgary, 30 Jun 2014 - #28

[PrincessButtercup]

I try not to feel hateful and I always try to find a small iota of good in every one but I just can't do that here. There is no good in DG, I don't believe he's ever contributed a single positive thing to this world. I always tell my kids that there is good in every person, we just have to look really hard sometimes. I've looked, he is evil incarnate. I don't even think hell wants him.

"This is not mandatory. It does not say that you shall," said Ross of the possibility of consecutive parole ineligibility. #Garland

Ross reminds Gates this is a discretionary option for the judge. (to impose consecutive periods of parole ineligibility) #Garland

Agree. I'm super sensitive and always somehow feel sad for everyone. Not in this case. I truly despise this monster.

"Concurrent sentenced should be imposed when there's one continuous criminal act," says Ross. #Garland


So after all that arguing and photocopying, he's got really nothing to say?

Defence: it is one crime, but judge asks if Nathan's killing wasn't separate as it was added later. #Garland

"It's clear it's one continuous act," says Ross of the murders committed by his client. #Garland

Gates is now asking Ross whether Nathan stands part, in the sense that he wasn't supposed to be there. #Garland

Doesn't Nathan stand apart? Judge Gates asks since his death wasn't planned. Ross says yes but all crimes happened around same time #Garland

Kevin MartinVerified account ‏@KMartinCourts 1m1 minute ago
Justice Gates notes Nathan wasn't supposed to be there. "So doesn't Nathan stand apart," he asks Ross. #Garland

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney 47s48 seconds ago
Judge: jury must have accepted #Garland was in Liknes home for 90 minutes. lots of time to turn "his mind" to including Nathan.

Judge: in 50 years, likelihood of #Garland being still alive is "slim to none."

Lucas MeyerVerified account ‏@meyer_lucas 46s46 seconds ago
Judge Gates #Garland must've turned his mind to Nathan who he wasn't expecting, isn't that a separate set of circumstances? #yyc

BBM - yes they should.
