Probably his only remorse is getting caught.

Reading Rod O'brien's impact statement is absolutely heartbreaking.

I don't believe in the afterlife, but this would be as good of a reason as any.

He's shown nothing at this point, you'd have to be dead inside not to react to anything during the trial or victims impact statements.

I get the defence has a job to do, they are there to protect our rights, and all that jazz. But FFS. The guy murdered 3 people and was found guilty. There is now zero doubt he did it. And now you want to argue that the victim statements are too harsh? And you actually convinced the judge to get the mother to edit some of her words? Give me a f'ing break. It's crap like that, that makes people hate lawyers who defend scum like him. Hell if I was in her position, I'd make sure to stare at Garland and read it anyways, extra loud. Good riddance.

I don't think I've ever heard of a defense lawyer objecting to a Victim Impact Statement. I did not know that was allowed. Learned something new today. I agree it's very disappointing that they were censored. I'm guessing they have some sort of guideline to follow when writing them?

Judge Gates sounds awesome
"What's the difference between 50 or 75 years? Your client won't be alive"
I hope he gives the full 75

Garland's lawyer says he lived in BC under an assumed identity. He was using the name of a dead AB teenager. #Garland

I truly don't think that you do. That's ok though, a lot of people don't.

Please explain how the vetting of impact statements fits into the defense of a convicted killer.
(this comes across as a dick post, but isn't meant to be)

Agreed, Hixt and Grant's twitter feed has pretty good flow and tells a good story of the trial.
I was also following kevin martin (@KMartincourts) because he seemed to have the fastest tweets, but sometimes he gets the names wrong.
Overall, I liked Hixt's twitter feed
