I was sure I saw something somewhere in one of the rags about evidence of blunt force trauma on their heads. You can drown in 3 inches of water if you're unconscious.

Slam Dunk case.
I would assume this would've come up in autopsy?
I'm not questioning the judgement... I wasn't there to hear the evidence. Now that the trial is over though, I'd love to get more details about what was presented by the prosecution.
I could understand pre-meditated murder for a stranger, but for family members??? :shock:
Didn't they stop at one point in the act and say "wait a minute, that's still my daughter"
...then again, you're most likely to be murdered by someone who knows you than a stranger.

Gotta remember that the Crown doesn't have to be able to explain every single detail.
What they have to show is that there is no other explaination for the events other than murder... and convince the jury.
When you have those 2 doorknobs getting on the stand and saying wildly inconsistant and inconceivable stories about how it "actually went down"...
The Crown pretty much had the case served to them.

How the police caught them.
My parents lived in Denmark, which was under German occupation for almost the whole of WWII. Denmark did not put up much, if any, resistance to the occupation, and the Germans didn't really do much bad to the general population ... as long as you were not Jewish. But the people knew not to poke the enemy with a stick. The regular soldiers were mostly just regular people doing what they were told.
The Shafia judgment is the correct one.
Of course they loved the nazis, Romania was run by a fascist dictatorship which joined the Axis forces in 1940. They were bombed by the allied forces and subsequently invaded by the Russians. Only after all this was there a coup which brought down the previous regime and sided Romania with the allies.
Is it any surprise your friend had favourable things to say of the Nazis?
definitely an interesting read. I was hooked
Meanwhile the Norwegians were brushing up on ski warfare
Here's to hoping he gets honoured over and over again in prison. POS child killer.
Informative. I did not know wireless companies kept records of what cell towers a phone has "pinged" in the past, I thought they could only track the present location of a phone.
Also,
The Canadian Press said:
That right there is excellent police work. A slam dunk case.
Been following the trial as long as the Star has been reporting it.
I don't understand what took the jury so long to reach a verdict.
They stopped for the free lunch?

Jury deliberations are not just "hey guys lets do a show of hands"
They have to actually go over all of the evidence and consider whether each element of the offence has been proven as a logical exercise.
Usually in these kind of trials premeditation is the part that takes a bit of talking through.
remember how pickton was convicted of 2nd degree murder? Now thats an exercise in impossiblity....

There's an old Serbian anecdote that has a bearing on this.. While I can't get all the linguistic nuances in there, I'll get the point across..
A man bumps into another man.
-Excuse me, I'm blind
-It's ok, but who clawed out your eyes?
-My brother
-Ahhh that's why he dug so deep
In countries where the locals weren't quite "Aryans", it got to be a lot more "interesting." In one case, the plan was to banish 1/3, convert another 1/3 to a different branch of Christianity and kill the rest. They did get about 1,500,000 in the concentration camps, along with a few tens of thousands of Jews and Roma. Understandably, once the jig was up, the locals picked up their torches and pitchforks and started disturbing a bit of excrement. Really cramped the 3rd Reich's style.
