Our thanks to Global for the article and the moving interview
We hesitated posting the killer's application for reduced sentence not wanting to give voice to his evilness, but we thought some might appreciate the heads-up.
"A New Brunswick man who fatally shot three Mounties eight years ago has applied to the province’s highest court to have his precedent-setting sentence drastically reduced."
"In 2014, Justin Bourque was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 75 years, which at the time was the harshest penalty imposed by a Canadian court since 1962 — the last time state-sanctioned executions were carried out."
THIS IS THE MOTIVATOR
"In its decision last year, the Supreme Court said the Criminal Code provision violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because it amounted to cruel and unusual punishment for offenders who faced no realistic possibility of being granted parole before they died."
