Right now there’s a thread about a guy who ran over his wife who got manslaughter. They feel he should have gotten murder because obviously he meant to do it. Of course they don’t have any facts to back that up but #### the Charter I guess?


You mean the guy with a history of violence and assault against his partner? The one who held a broken bottle next to neck and asked if she wanted to die? While she was pregnant. The one the judge states “the evidence before me illustrates that the offender had a history of domestic violence toward the deceased, including threats and violent assaults”? The one where he was court ordered to stay away from his victim at the time he ran her over, then drive away?

Yeah, #### the charter indeed. Conviction overturned to a man slaughter charge, in the same way I can get away with murder if I’m wasted. System is ####ed, charter be damned.
