Graham James to be sentenced for sexual assaults | CTV News
Kennedy came forward in 1997 to accuse James of abusing him sexually for years. James was convicted of roughly 350 sexual abuse charges related to Kennedy and served three-and-a-half years in prison upon conviction, before receiving a controversial pardon in 2007.

Of course, it was Harper and his tough on crime team that handed over a pardon to a well known chid molester while ensuring pot smokers are locked up and saddled with criminal records for eternity.
And on top of that, what kind of judge sentences a person to what amounts to 3 days in jail for each sex crime? Soft on sex crimes? Tough on property crimes?
Rape a person...get a break, huff a doobie and you're freash meat for a justice system hungry for blood.
The judge should be sent to jail first, the PM should be arrested for letting the rapist go free without the burden of a criminal record.
As far as I'm concerned, it's criminal negligence to have given him that break.
News...Straight from hell. These are the days my friend...i'm pretty sure they'll never end.

ReplyDelete"the PM should be arrested for letting the rapist go free without the burden of a criminal record."
What insanely absurd comments. Partisan to the point of delusion. It's not a politian who gives pardons or paroles or incarcerates someone. Harper was in minority power in 2006 and wouldn't have been able to make any changes to crime legislation if he wanted to in time to affect this scumbag.
If he had, your Liberal pals would have ranted and raved about of heavy handed and untrusting of judicial discretion he is.
Get some sense.
You do realize that if James had been charged with these crimes at the same time as he had been the last batch he'd be done, right? Maybe we could examine the Liberal record on crime and the bulk discount Liberals gave criminals when they mandated concurrent sentences. If James was punished consecutively for each crime he perpetrated then he'd still be in jail.
ReplyDeleteWell, who exactly created the pardon system in Canada? A nameless bureacrat?
ReplyDeleteOf course the CONS were in charge, making changes to systems without legislation. Fact is, it was a Harper government that gave the guy a pardon, and a Harper appointee to the National Parole Board.
