Why is this man being released?
Again, this is totally outrageous.
Two years after a man went to jail as a young offender for the deadly beating of a gay man, a judge freed him Wednesday and urged the victim's family to try to forgive the killer.If he had raped a girl, god forbid, he would have been sentenced as an adult, no?
Judge Valmond Romilly of provincial youth court said the 21-year-old man now needs help to salvage some of his life as he enters adulthood.
"The sole preoccupation at this stage should be to help the youth, who committed a terrible offence, while still a youth,'' Romilly said.

Who knows. In the end, it's just another example of our broken justice system.
Unbelieveable. Homolka, now this. My post about capital punishment seems quite timely. :-)
