I always thought that God COULD just un-create him and his "immortal" soul...poof.
I have dealt with a version of schizophrenia in my family
he may have met their definition of insanity.
they really do think people are trying to kill them ...after them..etc...at times.
It is a terrible world to live in for sufferers and families who have to deal with it go through A LOT
Crime pays nowadays.
So murder is legal in Canada now. Not surprising.
Well Canada gets the government it deserves. Hope they enjoy it.
Hey, schizophrenics!
This judge is trying to KILL YOU.
Many years ago when I worked at a “youth center” (juvenile prison) we had a kid, who along with his twin, murdered his step-father and left his step-mother (complicated family history) for dead. She survived but the two killers got 2/3rds of the life insurance settlement. Why? Because under MO law at the time, the boys weren’t convicted of murder, they were convicted of ‘delinquency’. I actually saw the check that was deposited into his canteen account.
I imagine the same applies in Canada. Murderers cannot profit from their crime, but since the man was acquitted by grounds of insanity, he is not legally a murderer. Sometimes, to quote Dickens, “the law is a ass”.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened and I don't care if he is nuttier then a fruitcake or just evil. He (or rather his mother) should not profit from his crime.
The judge will join him in the lower regions
An old saying applies here: If that is the law, then the law is an ass.
He is the same judge who acquitted him of murder...

No conflict of interest there. /sarc
I have friends from Canada who became American citizens, and said that they were kind of ‘embarrassed’ to have to show an American passport when traveling. They should have been ashamed for having a Canadian passport.
There must be something twisted about that judge.
Handguns are practically banned in Canada
How did a mentally ill person get a gun?
Who vouched for him on his PAL
Did his instructor not sense something was off with this dude?
Maybe the killer’s mother is planning to name herself as conservator of his financial dealings. She can find ways to disguise a small salary for her management ‘skills’.
Easy retirement fund.
Interesting.
The decision of the insurance company to leave the matter up to the judge is troubling. This cannot be the first time such a set of circumstances has occurred in the industry (and probably for this specific company as well).
I believe there is a principal in American insurance law (and, until reading this, I would have thought it was common to all insurance law worldwide) that the beneficiary of a life insurance policy cannot receive the proceeds of a policy if they committed a crime resulting in the insured’s death. The insured was unlawfully killed; that is, was murdered. The man was ruled to be not guilty by reason of insanity; but that doesn’t mean the crime of murder didn’t occur and it doesn’t mean he didn’t commit it. It simply means he was considered not responsible for his criminal actions at the time of the murder because of his deranged mental state.
The judge is allowing him to profit from the crime.
Society is truly regressing.
Oh, those Whacky Canadians...
This is one of the poorest published stories I’ve read in some time. I read the whole thing and found no mention of the amount of the insurance settlement. That is certainly pertinent to those of us who want the facts. This is typical of what’s become of journalism.
This is NOT a threat . . . it is just a legitimate question.
