'Bathtub girl' killer gets early release for university studies
Submitted by Matt on Tue, 2009-06-23 22:35
Story here. Excerpt:
'One of two Mississauga sisters convicted four years ago of killing their mother will be let out of prison and allowed to move to a halfway house.
The woman, who cannot be identified, was granted early release so she can do university studies this fall.
The sisters were convicted in 2005 of killing their mother in 2003 by drowning her in the bathtub.
The 22-year-old who was given early release was a minor at the time of the crime.
A judge in Brampton, Ont., agreed Monday to change the conditions of her sentence.
She will go to a halfway house in Barrie, Ont., and from there she will be allowed to take online courses with the University of Waterloo where she has been awarded a $2,000 scholarship.'

There is just no end to the privileges that the legal system will grant anyone with a cunt. Of course that's not an option open to at least some who read this site.

don't single out canada
the u.s. has male children paying c.s. to
women who raped them.
got scumbag judges all over.
they will do ANYTHING feminists tell them.
it's been going on for so long.
Excuse me...
Did I read the article right?
The maximum sentence in Canada for 1st degree murder is ten years!?
Maximum sentence for murder.
Since they were youths, under the Youth Justice Act, they can only serve a maximum of 10 years in prison or a youth detention facility.
The maximum penalty for an adult offender is 25 years to life. Someone guilty of a single murder could have their non-parole period reduced to no less than 15 years under the Faint hope clause.
I'm sure if the offender in this case was a male then he would be fulfilling his entire 10 year sentence.
Perhaps
I'm not sure, but perhaps what they are doing for her is a good approach? I worked with a guy years ago that had his son working with him. His son had spent 3 years in a mental facility because he stabbed his mother to death with a kitchen knife. Now I don't know the story, but I know he was 18 and had just gotten out. It's to bad that everything has us calling for the same harsh treatment instead of calling for decent treatment across the board.
