Most people will struggle for every bit of life they can and to be able to be around and protect their families, regardless of whether they are guilty of something. If humans just gave up every time they were trapped, evolution would have made us extinct a long time ago.
Obviously his lawyers have convinced him that pleading not guilty is the best choice for him.

I agree with what you're saying. Doesn't help the fact that the whole thing still makes me really angry and sad.
Speaking of his lawyer... isn't Balfour Der basically "the" defence lawyer in Calgary? I don't really know anything about lawyers in Calgary, but he seems to be the guy on all the higher-profile cases that make the news.
Probably pretty expensive for Tschetter to try and get off as lightly as possible. So maybe he's not really helping out his kids and family in that regard. Who knows.
