Wetcoaster Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 1st degree murder will get them a life bit with no parole for 25 years. Tragic situation for everyone including Maple her family and friends and these idiots who killed her. Now they will sit in jail until they are senior citizens and their families will also suffer.

vancanfan Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Nothing unfortunate about that - like virtually every civilized western democracy we have a abolished capital punishment. And with good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Kovalchuk. Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Well, it'll happen, but they could get out earlier on "good behaviour" And for every convicted gang member that goes to jail, another few pop up again. It is a sad fact that we do have a gang problem but it is nothing like it is in the US. Most gang members aren't even poor; they're well-off. At the risk of being nosy, what is the motive of the shooting of her? This seems anything but a random shooting. Seems targetted, which usually indicates that she has some connection to the underworld, although from people's accounts, she seemed like she was a good person - perhaps a gang member's crush?

hudson bay rules Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Since there is a second suspect besides the boyfriend I think this confirms my suspicions that it was an "honour killing." We can probably rule out robbery etc so why would the friend be involved otherwise? She wanted to leave him and he couldn't take it like a man. My condolences to the family.

Wetcoaster Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The person who killed her should be put to death, if he is found guilty, in any country on this planet. The tax payers should not have to pay for this scumbags incarceration, yet they will. At least some of the states in the USA have it right.

hudson bay rules Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I disagree. I am not in favour of vengeance and that is the only justification for the death penalty. As far as economics, various studies have shown that the death penalty is costlier than life imprisonment. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. ~ Mahatma Gandhi The death penalty has no efficacy in terms of deterrence, nor does it impact crime rates and only serves the purpose of satisfying some base desire for vengeance. In summary I prefer the high road of civilization to the low road of vengeance and barbarism. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson bay rules Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Nothing to do with an "honour killing". This was an ex-boyfriend who was charged with assaulting her just a few days before she was gunned down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think we'll find that he was "dissed" by her and cultural influences played a part in this poor girls murder. Who has their friend help kill a girl? I say again, cultural influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 There is a guy in Virginia, Robert Gleason Jr, who is scheduled to die, by electrocution, his choice, in January. He killed a man and was serving a life sentence, then in 2009, killed his cellmate, was transferred to a super max prison in 2010, still in Va, then killed another man in a recreation cage. In his own words he has said " "I murdered that man cold-bloodedly. I planned it, and I'm gonna do it again," Gleason told the AP at the time. "Someone needs to stop it. The only way to stop me is put me on death row." http://hamptonroads.com/node/660475 So, in your eyes, this guy should be allowed to live? The taxpayers should pay to incarcerate someone who has stated they will kill again and again if allowed? If you kill someone, you should die, call it vengeance, call it whatever you want, its just a word to me, his death is the only way to ensure he never kills again. And if he killed once, he could kill again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanfan Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 So, killing this one bad guy solves everything? Innocents have been executed in the past AND it's been proven over and over again that it costs more to execute someone than to keep them incarcerated (unless you live in one of the second or 3rd world country's on Wet's list) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I doubt it... Gary simply couldn't handle the break up...and killed Maple. Bedi was an associate...in other words "hired" to assist in the shooting. It's not uncommon to have more than one person involved and the fact that a female was the victim is irrelevant. Source: somebody (me) that knew both Gary and Maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
