Another data point for assessment of the Greenspan-Gardner Hypothesis:
A three-time killer is facing not only a lengthy prison term [sic - ed.], but an
order that will ensure authorities keep a close eye on him for a decade
after his release.
... he was sentenced Thursday to a further 11 years in prison for his third
manslaughter conviction - a penalty jointly recommended by the Crown
and defence.
...Raphael stabbed Cadreau four times in the chest and twice in the
back. The lethal wound was to the heart.
... Cadreau's
death came just six months after Raphael had walked out of court a free
man after receiving time served for his second manslaughter. One of two
men charged in the crime, he pleaded guilty for his role in the death
of a 33-year-old Regina man who was beaten with a beach umbrella.
Because Raphael had already spent three years on remand, he was set
free after the June 18, 2005, sentencing.
Twenty years
earlier, Raphael was sentenced to four years for his first
manslaughter. He had stabbed his victim in a bar fight in Edmonton.
It is just so strange how this guy's knives and, er, beach umbrellas keep slipping and hitting other people, innit?
At least (whatever marginal comfort that provides) this one is getting appealed (here):
Bird, 21, was sentenced to 12 years after being convicted of
manslaughter, aggravated sexual assault and kidnapping for her role in
the killing on April 3, 2005. Ross found Bird knew of the plan to kidnap and kill a victim, had
helped carry out the kidnapping, was armed, had hit Nina with a wrench
and had held Nina’s hands down while she was being raped.
