ou’ve got to admire the sheer chutzpah of it. Chris Mill, the
attorney for two of the Camrose cat killers—those were the little psychopaths
who tortured a cat to death in a microwave oven and left messages boasting
about it for the owners to return to—actually asked for the court to expedite
his clients’ sentencing so they could achieve “closure” before returning to
school this fall. Words absolutely fail me. This guy is complaining, on behalf
of his clients, about the need for them to undergo a psychiatric
examination—because they want to get this whole thing over with.
I’m sure they do. Most of us, when caught in a crime, just
want the prosecution to go the fuck away. There’s nothing new or amazing about
that. Why that should be grounds a judge could act upon is totally beyond me.
What the judge ought to be primarily concerned about is the issue of protecting
the community from these creeps. The last thing on her mind should be whether
the kids get to start school this year with a “clean slate”.
At least Chris Mill’s job is being the spokesmen for this pair
of psychopaths. I don’t know what Camrose resident Linda Hugo’s excuse is. “It’s
a terrible thing that they did,” she admits, claiming “but it’s now water under
the bridge.” Nice of her to be so forgiving of a “terrible” crime committed
against somebody else. She weeps for the poor persecuted torturers. “…the
mental torment that they’ve gone through is enough” she feels. Wise up, lady.
The next time these young Torquemadas decide to go on the prowl, you may well
be their victim. When you embrace a scorpion, expect to get stung.
