Pickton's 26 murder counts dropped to 6

Is Willie Pickton getting a break? Not really... they are just going to avoid dragging this case out by splitting it into multiple cases? All 26 counts could be too much for the jurors to comprehend so they will start with 6 according to Justice James Williams. Really he is just saying that jurors are typically slow and unfocused.

If Willie is found guilty of 1, maybe 2 of the murders, why waste our time and money figuring out if he is guilty for the rest? Honestly though, in Canada it shouldn't really matter if the man is guilty as sin or innocent. The sentence for a crime this size probably won't be more than 5 years, or 3 weeks with good behavior. By good behavior I mean not raping other prisoners and then hiding their body parts in your cell.

I am sure the victims families are loving the fact this guys entire sentence will be played out waiting for our legal system to do it's thing.

Goodness, Luke. I like funny as much as the next guy, but sheesh...26 women are savagely murdered and you waver in your loathing because he made bacon?

I loathe him dearly but I just found it so rediculous that he is given the same civil rights as us or his victims. It's so damn backwards. He should fry like bacon.

The only "ridiculous" thing about your post is the speed in which you backtracked to delete that entirely off-color bacon reference. What did you have in mind for an encore? Dead baby jokes?
