Of course I don't condone shooting perps or their lawyers, but I frankly don't have any difficulty whatsoever in understanding him. This case is one of the most vile crimes I've seen in our province, and I can't imagine what the family has had to go through.

And to add to that, while the defence lawyers certainly are just doing their job, their arguments were utterly revolting. An insult to the victim, her family, and the collective intelligence of the people of this province. Supposedly the perp's lawyer has received copious death threats, and again - I'm sure none of us condone shooting lawyers, I think it's hard to blame people.

I'm just glad the jury had none of it and found him guilty.

Also hoping the father doesn't get a significant charge for this. If anyone would be "not of sound mind" it would be a dad who had to listen to the disgusting arguments made in the defence of the animal that raped and murdered his child.
