uhmmm be clear before the trial it wasn't known that he was guilty

you internet vigilantes are forgetting that he was innocent until proven otherwise

and if we seriously looked at the situation he shouldnt have been convicted for the charge that he was (a few supreme court justices agree with that viewpoint)

its just with the worldwide media hype over the situation and all the money invested and the parties involved getting the case closed and shut took priority

I mean look no 1 cares that its believed there are others involved and there are still more cases unsolved if you were really justice seeking vigilantes you'd be crying out for that

But if you look at all the backlash against the new driving laws and longer impound and probation periods - you must also understand the importance of our right to a fair trial, as well as a right to legal counsel (among other things). Unfortunately, high profile cases are expensive, but they are necessary. And everybody deserves a fair trial.
Everyone deserves a fair trial, but the crown also has the responsibility to carry out the tasks cost efficiently...

I am SURE we are capable of giving him a fair trial w/o spending $100 millions+. But I guess taxpayers' money = free money for our government...

FUck him up bad, heal him, than fuck him up some more and repeat it 10000 times and see how he feels, than pop a shot gun up his ass and blow that shit up

people are angry and frustrated they obviously wouldn't do it but this is how their expressing themselves. com'on lets be real, YOU just don't "get it" and you are totally missing the point of the issue.

hell, 102 million dollars could have been spent elsewhere and "saved" many more then the 50 lives he took.

I don't think anyone here has pin pointed why the investigation was expensive.

The RCMP easily could have spent less than ten million dollars and had similar results in the trial, all they needed actually needed was enough evidence to have a couple convictions. They chose to spend seventy million dollars and search every square inch of the farm, so they could give closure to the grieving families of his possible victims.

You can't half-ass investigations and expect a guilty verdict. The last thing we need is cutting corners during the investigation, and having a case thrown out because they weren't thorough enough.

Better yet, make him someone's bitch for the rest of his life. Scum doesn't deserve to die quickly.

This case could have been half ass'd with the same results but I agree closure was needed for the grieving families.

Now that he's been proven guilty in a court of law I would have no problem putting this piece of shit away if given the opportunity and legal immunity. Not "internet tough talk".

Who said anything about performing a half-ass investigation?

I said, the RCMP could have gathered enough evidence to prove Pickton, is guilty of two murders, for less money than it took to prove him guilty of twenty six.

I'll fuckin' jail him for free.
That way my old lab at UBC could get shitloads of newer machines for $737,000 OR pay for the tuition of 150+ undergrads.
You wouldn't see him again though.
