Sickening court case

A woman murders not one, but two of her babies.

Her sentence? Just 6, 6!, F U CKING years. And with time served, she only has a year left. I know Canada doesn't have the death penalty, but at the very least she should be in jail for the rest of her life, and I mean literally, not 'life sentences' where people get out in 10 years with good behaviour.

I don't give a damn what her mental condition was like or what her childhood was like. What the hell was she doing having a second baby if the first one depressed her so much? And if she's that crazy, then why is she being released in a year?? Strap her down to a bed in a mental institution for the rest of her life.

And we are told children should be with their mothers? Does anybody doubt for a second that if it was the father that committed these crimes, he would be serving life in jail, and there would be a large outcry for an execution.

Unbelievable.

PS: To top it all off, she still wants to have children. All the court has required is that she notify them if she becomes pregnant again. How about sterilizing her so nobody else has to die at her hand? Oh and our youth justice act prevents naming criminals that were minors when they committed the crime (she was 17 for the first baby), so nobody even knows her name. When she gets out in a year, she can find a new daddy, and he won't even know what he's getting into. Scary - she lives about 30 minutes from me.

Perhaps she's on the right track and abortion should be an option until they start paying taxes.

Court heard the woman suffered from post-partum depression and had a "difficult childhood" filled with abuse, rejection and suicide attempts.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Cas Herold found her guilty of infanticide and not first-degree murder because he believed her mind was disturbed by the effects of childbirth.

Imagine if it had been the father who suffered from depression, had a "difficult childhood" filled with abuse rejection and suicide attempts(attenion whoring).

He would have been put behind bars for 25+ years "where he belongs".

Yeah Smoothtalker, the Canadian justice system is ridiculous... If you claim any kind of mental issue, there's almost no way you can get 1st degree murder.

Take that recent killing on the coach bus where the sleeping kid was beheaded in his seat.... Clearly premeditated(taking a hunting knife and pruning shears on a bus), no immediate remorse(he hacked the head off after killing, and tried to kill others afterwards), and he gets away with manslaughter.

Do you know who typically gets manslaughter charges? Someone who's not paying attention to the road while driving and kills a cyclist by accident. Premeditated? Of course not, manslaughter is the correct charge.

Stabbing man 40 times, then hacking the head off with scissors and a knife, and then eating bits of flesh. How is manslaughter the correct charge when comparing it to accidentally hitting a cyclist?

Woman smothers 7 week old baby. Premeditated? Maybe not, but still not accidental/careless actions that lead to the death. 2nd degree murder is the correct charge.

A comparable case would be mother leaves baby in car in 40 degree heat, and the baby dies a terrible death. That, is manslaughter. Not premeditated, but careless actions that lead to the death.

Same woman poisons and smothers 9 week old baby. Premeditated? Yes! She prepared the chemical mix/put the mix in the baby bottle, and went through the same procedure as with the first baby. That doesn't just happen by accident.

And what the fvck is infanticide? Does the child being incoherent and unable to speak for itself suddenly downgrade the charge from murder? We're a LONG way away killing a fetus being considered murder if we can kill babies without it being murder.

IMO they're letting her out so easily and with such anonymity because her biological clock is ticking and for the government to not have to pay for the rest of her life(in prison/institution), they need her to sink her teeth into another unsuspecting man soon.

Here's to the politically correct Canadian Injustice System.
