For this crime, Manitoba's Justice Department was determined to send [TONY Jaworski] to jail for life. Neither Mr. Jaworski's motive for killing (mercy), nor his age (87) and ill health (cancer, blindness, partial deafness) softened their passion for severe punishment. The Crown could have exercised its discretion to charge Mr. Jaworski with manslaughter, which gives the court discretion to tailor the punishment to fit the circumstances of the crime. Instead, they insisted on charging him with the crime of murder, which carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. In an earlier Manitoba case, that of Bert Doerksen, the Crown was similarly determined to obtain a criminal conviction and jail term. Bert Doerksen, 79, was charged with assisting his wife to take her own life. Susan Doe...

Addressing a crowd of more than 200 that gathered at the Carnegie Center in Vancouver's downtown eastside to remember women who have lost their lives to violence, Robyn Hamilton fought back tears. "No human being should ever have to endure this kind of pain," said Hamilton, whose 19-year-old daughter, Kandace Joeline Kemp, was beaten to death by her boyfriend. "We as women need to protect, support and watch over each other." Hamilton stressed that laws need to be changed to ensure the punishment fits the crime. Kemp, who died in Vancouver's Regent Hotel, was the city's fourth homicide victim of 2003. Kemp's boyfriend, originally held on a second-degree murder charge, was later sentenced to a charge of manslaughter with seven years time served. We all realize that the suffering and pain...
