Surrey Six Killers Convicted

[Donald G]

My compliments to the police and those many people who worked with them to find the evidence to convict two ganged up criminals of the murder of six people in the Surrey Apt a few years back. Two of whom were not associated to any gang and were simply unfortunately there at the time.

My compliments to Judge Catherine Wedge for seeing through the completely phoney charades being put up by the defence council time after time in an effort to find some real or imagined theoretical point to use in enabling the two criminals to escape justice.

No doubt now we will see a never ending stream of appeals aimed at the killers and their lawyers trying to find a technical or theoretical defence that some other less realistic judge will buy into.

So much of the admissibility of evidence these days rests with the PERSONAL OPINION of the presiding judge. It is nothing but a lawyer enriching form of judge shopping being peddled to the taxpayers under the name of an appeal. Which is one reason that the trial took so long. Lawyers got to accumulate billable hours using their new found tool of being able to argue the admissibility of EVERY individual piece of evidence presented by the police. Nothing whatever to do with guilt or innocence. Just an unending opportunity to find a theoretical or technical excuse to have the otherwise guilty criminals escape justice, as happens so often these days.

I find myself wondering what the true cost of this incident will be. Court time, prosecutors, cops, various specialists and civilian contractors, plus whatever expenses are incured for the incarcerations. I would make a rough guess that the bill to the taxpayers will be in the 25-30 million dollar range.

Its not exactly over yet, although there has been a conviction the defence is still calling for the case to be thrown out due to the way police handled a confidential informant.

A technical and theoretical defence that has absolutely nothing whatever to do with guilt of innocence. More chance of the guilty man going free. More billable hours for the defence lawyer.

All a direct result of PE Trudeau (lawyer) causing the Bill of Rights to be rewritten and reinterpreted by judges that he specifically selected and appointed to see that the new Bill of Rights Interpretation was to his extreme left wing thinking.

It continues to be the largest miscarriage of justice since Canada became a Nation.

maybe,, but then again,, as a cop you should know better than to start humping a gangsters girlfriend in the middle of a case as big and serious as this eh?

Blaming “the system” for poor or lazy police work is nothing new. It’s been my observation working in the field that this is normally a frustration shared mainly amongst the rookies and very few members actually allow themselves to remain bound by that self-imposed limitation. They take personal responsibility for doing a better job and learn how to get the job done right. Most even recognize there are very good reasons to have a legal system that will protect citizens from malicious prosecution by the state. Those still trying to blame “the system” (or long dead Prime Ministers - LOLOL) for their own poor conviction rate are actually better off retired. Lots of time then to indulge themselves by puffing their feathers & spewing gofflefab.

I guess that for over 100 years before the bill of rights was rewritten and reinterpreted we had no justice in Canada? Just malicious prosecutions?

It makes me wonder why each and every judge in Canada, including those in Appeal Courts and the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the Bill of Rights and interpretation of the Bill of Rights up until that time.

People who arbitrarily condemn those who disagree with the changes made by PET without knowing anything about the Criminal Court System and the rules governing the admissibility of evidence for over 100 years before the changes were made do not know of which they speak. Rest assured that the people of Canada will not tolerate guilty criminals going free solely because of theoretical arguments for an indefinite period of time.

Your knowledge of what the police think is open to serious question if it enables you to conclude that any police officer who disagrees with the drastic changes made in our BOR is simply lazy.
