Jury finds 24-year-old woman not guilty of first degree murder in death of her female lover's long-time boyfriend

Amid a torrent of emotion, a Toronto woman accused of using an axe to bludgeon to death her lesbian lover's possessive boyfriend walked free from a downtown courtroom yesterday afternoon, acquitted of first-degree murder.

The verdict from the seven-woman, five-man jury capped more than three days of tense deliberations.

Ashleigh Pechaluk, 24, and her parents embraced tearfully before stepping out into the bright sunshine to face a bank of microphones and television cameras.

Arrested the day of the murder, she spent more than two and a half years in custody.

Politically correct Canadian Justice?

Disgusting.

She was just trying to turn the boyfriend into a “split tail”.

The two lezbos were.

They could make a movie, “So I Married an Axe Murderer, Part Two.”

But it will make a fine Made for TV movie on the Lifetime channel.

Was this an act of “empathy” by the jury for the member of a politically correct “victim group”, i.e., where identity trumps individual responsibility? I don’t know if that is the case here and if there was some real exculpatory evidence, but if so, then this is exactly the type of “justice” based on member of victim or oppressor groups that Sotomayor and Obama are pushing.

I’m glad we don’t have TV.

The guy she mudered is STILL dead.

“Nicola Puddicombe, left, and Ashleigh Pechaluk are charged with murder.”

Yes, the type of empathy that warrants a full blown DOJ investigation of the abortionist Tiller’s demise, but pulls the FBI off from investigating black muslim terrorists in the US.

Her first post-custody pleasure? “Seafood,” she said with a laugh.

I would have guessed tacos, myself.

[I-ambush]

Lezzy Borden took an axe...

Tuna tacos

Will Hillary Swank be available to star?

Read the article. She said she didn't do it and no physical evidence linked her to the crime. Her lover is also charged and about to go to trial - and the lover was the beneficiary of the life insurance.

Political correctness seems to have nothing to do with it.

Look at the size of that head!
