Pickton Appeal

"Pickton to appeal convictions to Supreme Court of Canada

Robert Pickton?s lawyers say they will appeal his six second-degree murder convictions to the Supreme Court of Canada, CBC News has confirmed..."

Of course they will....cause it won't cost Pickton any money and make a cart full of tax payer dollars for the lawyers.

Does anybody think he didn't do it! Personally, I think this is another rape of the tax payers by the "liberal" justice system.

Yeah the question was is others involved--most likely--but so what..he fed some of the ladies bodies to his pigs Right there he should get life in prison, IMO.

They should feed him to the pigs.

While everyone has the right to appeal, I am under the impression that in order for that appeal to be heard there has to be "grounds" that something wasn't kosher with the previous trial....

If there is a dissenting opinion at the Court of Appeal there is an automatic leave to appeal at SCC.

Contrary to the opinion of the OP, there is a uniform law for all Canadians which includes Bernardo and Pickton types. I'm thankful we live in a society that does not dispense justice according to the whims generated by societal outrage, but that's just me. And in this case there are many families of the victims who are relieved it is going this route as they will have a remote chance to have a day in court.
