Re: Kelowna Canada Day murder
Disgusting! 2 weeks living in Kelowna and he gets brutally murdered by a couple of Queensway skids. On Canada Day too with families and kids all around! Who gives a crap about protecting the identity of the 18 year olds involved, they're MURDERERS, their names are public record as far as I'm concerned. Their rights? What rights?
Don't Vancouver our Kelowna!

Re: Kelowna Canada Day murder
I believe that at age 18 one is considered to be an adult under Canada's Criminal Code.
One 18-year old is schedule to appear in court tomorrow. His name may be one the list. The other is scheduled to appear on February 14, so her name may be on the court list that day.

It's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.

Re: Kelowna Canada Day murder
Depends on their age when the incident happened. If they turned 18 after the crime the prosecutor will more than likely be asking the judge to have them classified as adults.
Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Re: Kelowna Canada Day murder
They brought a knife. To me that’s intent to harm or kill, not manslaughter.

Manslaughter is homicide committed without the intention to cause death. Murder is intent to kill. Prove that the accused outright intended to kill the victim, beyond a shadow of a doubt. If you can't prove there was bonafide and actual intent by the accused, they go free.
If you prefer to argue that the accused indeed caused the victim's death under the lesser charge of manslaughter, then you're welcome to do so. You don't need to prove intent - you simply need to prove the accused's actions caused the outcome.
Proving murder is difficult, and the risk is high that the accused would be acquitted.
The crown is simply choosing the charge that is most likely to prevail in court.
I'd like to change your mind, but I don't have a fresh diaper.

This is an important point. The fact that the victim was still alive when the assailants left him could have some traction in court in creating doubt about intent.
When someone says they pay taxes, you know they're about to be an ******e.

Even if the victim died immediately - the accused could simply say they seized an opportunity to rob the victim and a fight ensued. The onus is on the prosecution to prove there was intent to kill the victim. The good news is that manslaughter can result in a life (25 years) sentence. Hopefully justice will prevail.
