More sickering parole stories
The accomplice who pissed on a dying, begging cop wants to come back to Canada. That should tell you something about how attractive our incredible injustice system is to criminals.
Munro’s brother, Craig, 52, who fired the bullets that wounded Sweet and left him lying unattended during a 90-minute hostage drama, was convicted of first-degree murder with no parole for 25 years. He is eligible for full parole in February 2006.
Sweet, 30, was shot in the face and a lung after he tried unsuccessfully to surprise the Munro brothers in George’s Bourbon Street restaurant and tavern on Queen St. W.
I suppose his next step will be to go on welfare and maybe get a 10K training grant to learn a new job. Oh, for real punishment.
I’d love to know what the Sweet family thinks of this latest insult.
