i agree.
This law would not have helped Apple (Roxanne) at all. Her only flaw was wanting to be loved too much. That is what makes her murder such a tragedy. Apple would have never called the police on this coward because she was carrying his baby, and just wanted him to love her. So, I too do not believe it would have changed the end result.
However, what we really need is a law to make it a double murder to kill a pregnant woman, if the offender had knowledge of the victims pregnancy (a law was passed in the USA several years ago, as a result of the Laci Peterson case).
Nothing can ever bring Apple back. I miss her everyday, and it is like there is a hole in my heart which will never be mended. I just pray something good will come out of this.
having met Mr.Bruinoodge, I can honestly say he is a good person, and his heart is in the right place. In fact we are working on dedicating a memorial to Roxanne in Winnipeg, since her family chose to bury her in the Philippines, as that is where she was born and raised (she immigrated to Canada in 2003).
