The Pickton Trial

In the case of Willie Pickton, accused of killing 6 of the 50 women who have disappeared from Vancouver's east side, the remains of 30 turning up on his farm, the trial having concluded, while the jury is retired, let me state for the record. My verdict:

4 acquittals
2 manslaughter

I do not believe the Ellingsen witness who said she saw Pickton butchering a girl whose remains have not been found. There's no proof she's dead even. That's an acquittal.

The DNA of other men was found in the teeth of two of the victims. They are more likely to be the killers than Pickton. Two more acquittals.

Two girls' blood DNA was found in Willie Pickton's trailer. Likely manslaughter given the circumstantial evidence.

With the remaining girl, the circumstantial evidence against Pickton is too weak to support a conviction. As with the first three above, it's the same circumstantial evidence! Without any hard evidence, that's another acquittal.

Killers and very nasty people are still out there! Police and crown counsel want to slam the door on Pickton and forget all about them. They mustn't be allowed to get away with it, any more than Willie Pickton. He was certainly a knowledgable bit player on the sidelines of some disgusting business.

Anyway, that's my prognosis.

The important issue as far as this blog is concerned is the female lawyers in the crown counsels' office. They are disposed to believe any accusation against a man: the wilder the better. Ellingsen had them eating out of her hand: She saw through them a mile off. Any girlie put through law school at daddy's expense, unemployable in the private sector, can get a job in the crown counsels' office. They are a stock joke; like the female eunuchs in the Castrating Broad Corporation. They have just wasted $100m of public money, and ruined any chance of catching the culprits.

The sooner we get the workforce back on a regular footing the better.
