allowing the Quebec City mosque shooter to be eligible for parole after 25 years in prison is being met with disappointment by members of the mosque where the attack occurred.
Alexandre Bissonnette killed six men after evening prayers in January 2017 at the Quebec City mosque, and he eventually pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder. The Supreme Court unanimous ruled today that Bissonnette must serve 25 years before being eligible for parole, striking down a 2011 Criminal Code provision that allowed for longer parole ineligibility periods in multiple-murder cases.
2 very important points: - Being eligible for parole doesn't mean you will get parole, there's plenty of cases that get hearing but never gain parole. - Our judicial system does not seek revenge, it seeks justice and rehabilitation, the latter is reviewed by the parole board.
Supreme Court decision is flawed. Wanting to avoid Unusual cruelty ? The 5 dead and 8 wounded at the mosque were granted zero mercy by the shooter... Killer deserves the same courtesy - 50 years before he can apply for early release was the right answer. CBCNews icircpremiere
Canada’s justice system is a joke!!
Why don't you thank the Liberal 'hug a thug' crime policies?
