Comments on: Pig Farmer Convicted Of Six Murders

Canada's Worst Suspected Serial Killer Hears Verdict In First Of 26 Cases

[b-easy63]

"Pickton listened to the verdict with his head bowed. He will receive life in prison and will not be eligible for parole for at least 10 years when he is sentenced Tuesday. The jury had no recommendation Sunday on whether to extend that 10-year period."

The sick fact that a man could kill 26 people and be considered for parole in only 10 years, should be enough to have all of America''s serial killers scurrying to cross the border into Canada.

"I was going to do one more; make it an even 50," Pickton told the officer, who had been planted in the accused killer''s cell and gained his trust.



with 49 murders admitted to he could never be allowed to live in America, However according to erasmus6 Canada is glad to make sure he lives the rest of his life without any problems or worrys.

I agree that this should have been a 1st degree murder conviction, but the article said "Robert ''Willie'' Pickton was facing the first of 26 murder charges for the deaths of women". I assume from that statement, that his is facing further charges in the other murders. Lets hope the next jury gets it right!

He finally got what he deserves but it took so long.
I really feel so badly for the families of these people that fell into this very sick person.
Finally the family members can put this entire horrible part of their lives to rest. There is no way shape or form that the family members will rest but at the very least they will be able to feel better about the situation.
This man will be able to get parole? I just do not get it at all.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE NOW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CURTAIN AND RESTING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS!!!

For cases as extreme as this, Canada should definitely consider capital punishment as a justifiable. Mass murderers really don''t deserve to live out the rest of their lives.

I think I saw this guy on T.V. He called his farm the Bunny Ranch.

b-easy63: You got it wrong. I have no problem with offing murderers. But I also think that the possibility of putting to death an innocent person is in itself a heinous crime. Not only the person is killed, but his name and reputation is forever impugned. And don''t tell me no one has ever been wrongly convicted. The kind of confinement I''m talking about is not 23/1 but 24/7/365. It''s a living death. Maybe some can adapt to it, but it won''t be fun. You probably can accept the fact that a few innocents are wrongly put to death for the greater good of society, but I don''t.

Man,
This is exactly why we don''t want a socialist, liberal America.
This is NOT Justice it''s Repulsive!

Canada doesn''t have the death penalty, so I would think a man who has committed six murders at six different times would have been found guilty enough that he deserved life behind bars with no chance of parole at all ever under any circumstances.

I don''t believe in the death penalty anymore; not since over 200 people have been completely exonerated by the Innocence Project in the United States just since 1999.

[erasmus6]

"No death penalty for six murders and up for parole after 10 years. The Canadian justice system is whacked."

There is no way that this guy will ever get parole.

And his sentence was decided by the JURORS when they made it second degree murder.

I am pretty sure that there were more than 6 murders, that is just all they could get him on.
