I am neither a supporter or non-supporter of any public protest group but you have to look at this case and wonder...WTF are we (Canadians) doing in these cases...
The Adenhart case (he was a promising starting pitcher in MLB) has an accused male driver who was 22 at the time of the incident..he was on parole ?? for a previous impaired driving conviction. He was approx 3 times the legal limit and blew a light at 65 MH and hit a car with 4 in it...killing 3 and severely injurying the fourth. Driver gets convicted and gets 3 consecutive 15 yr to life sentences plus 6 yrs on additional charges....so 51 yrs to life... similar case in canada has the cop in Vancouver who was impaired hitting and killing a motorcyclist and he takes off and returns to scene later...same cop was the main culprit in the YVR taser death...he gets nothing...
Danny Heatley, a hockey player, was impaired several years ago flying down the road and wrexks his Lambroghini and kills his passenger and team mate...he got nothing..
Maybe its the case of the star athlete being the accused...he gets off and the star athlete being killed with others..ur getting life.
In Canada, in the Adenhart case...would there be jail...maybe...what would the sentence be...similar cases usually are in the house arrest to 2 yr range..who should be accountable, other than the accused, in these cases...the judges, the prosecutors, the police or the overall justice system..do we start electing judges like USA to ensure they do their job so they get re-elected but doesn't that breed corruption...this is all so ****ed up. It makes me laugh when there is this big announcement when there is a bill passed to "increase maximum sentences" whenthe trend here is that there isn't even adherance to minimum sentences...this must be so frustrating for the families involved on the "victim" end of these cases....I'm at a loss to understand the logic and criteria followed that leads to such desparity in how cases are handled within our country and also in the USA compared to here...
