What a terrific example of why Canada is right up there with France in Judicial idiocy.
OTTAWA - Mr. Justice Jean-Jude Chabot called it a terrible crime of pride - to plot to kill one's little girl so the other parent can't have her.
But the Superior Court judge spared a mother and grandmother prison time yesterday, giving them both conditional sentences for conspiring to murder their five-year-old child.
The two defendants, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the girl, had taken her from their home to a hotel in Drummondville, northeast of Montreal, last July, armed with enough pills to kill her, and an exacto knife to slit their own wrists.
"The court would like to stress the extreme gravity of wanting to kill a child," Judge Chabot said, acquiescing to the joint sentence recommendation of the Crown and the defence of two years minus a day to be served in the community, followed by three years probation.
Hmmm, 2 years community service for conspiracy to commit murder.
