Canada judge: Man not responsible for beheading
Mar 5 12:32 PM US/Eastern
Breitbart
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) - A Canadian judge ruled Thursday that a man accused of beheading and cannibalizing a fellow Greyhound bus passenger is not criminally responsible due to mental illness.
The decision means Chinese immigrant Vince Li will be treated in a mental institution instead of going to prison. The family of victim Tim McLean dismissed the trial as a "rubber stamp" that allows Li to get away with murder.
"A crime was still committed here, a murder still occurred," said Carol deDelley, McLean's mother. "There was nobody else on that bus holding a knife, slicing up my child."

======================================================
WTF????????????? More stupidity. Damn they are bleeding hearts everywhere. Vince Li should be cut up very slowly and painfully.
-
Why is a judge deciding this instead of a jury???
-
On the other hand, it'll be a Canadian mental facility, provided under their interpretation of 'National Health,' so perhaps not so different than prison at all.
Hawkgirl, it would be a question for the judge here if the issue was his mental competence to stand trial, but a question for the jury if the issue was simply his sanity at the time of the offense. Canada starts from the same legal heritage, but does not necessarily track with US law, and certainly not with US individual rights.
-
I know with Canada, there is no double jeopardy there because there is this one case they kept trying since 1997, which involved a girl getting beaten to death by other teenagers. It was tried a few times and they were acquitted in some instances, but tried again.
-
Can we send all the moonbats to Canada and let the conservatives come down here?
-
Jesus H.
I'm speechless.
Seriously.
(On Edit)
I found a musical number that seemed appropriate.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — A Canadian judge ruled Thursday that a man accused of beheading and cannibalizing a fellow Greyhound bus passenger is not criminally responsible due to mental illness. The decision means Chinese immigrant Vince Li will be treated in a mental institution instead of going to prison. The family of victim Tim McLean said Li got away with murder.
"A crime was still committed here, a murder still occurred," said Carol deDelley, McLean's mother. "There was nobody else on that bus holding a knife, slicing up my child."
Li stabbed McLean dozens of times and dismembered his body last July while horrified passengers fled.
Justice John Scurfield said the attack was "barbaric" but "strongly suggestive of a mental disorder."
"He did not appreciate the actions he committed were morally wrong," Scurfield said.
Both the prosecution and the defense argued Li can't be held responsible because he had schizophrenia and believed God wanted him to kill McLean because the young man was evil.

Canada huh?
-
If you intend to commit a horrific crime, Canada is the place to do it. Liberals have destroyed the judicial system.
Murder is almost a misdemeanor. No capitol punishment. and the prisons are luxurious! Criminals live very well in Canada's prisons.
Liberalism, finding excuses for criminal behavior in a court near you. I can guarantee you, this man will killing someone else in a few years.
Fact of life:
Liberals want to take away your gun, and then they will not protect you from criminals. Liberals WANT you to be afraid, to be a victim.
And if for some reason you keep your gun and use it for self defense, you will spend more time behind bars than a murderer.

More proof why America needs an ironfisted dictator like Park Chung-hee or Pinochet. They were brutal, but they kept people in line.
