A Toronto man who was wrongfully convicted of killing his four-year-old niece because of testimony by now disgraced pathologist Charles Smith will get $4.25 million in compensation, Ontario Attorney General Chris Bentley announced Thursday.
William Mullins-Johnson spent 12 years in prison after he was convicted in 1994 on evidence from the doctor that suggested he had raped and strangled his niece, Valin.
Good for him. There's a lot of talk on the airwaves today about capital punishment in light of the case of Colonel Williams. Let`s not get carried away with the desire for vengeance. This can never be allowed to happen in Canada. There can never be a justicfication for state-sanctioned killing. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Put it up for a referendom. I'm tired of parties telling me what I should think. There's a hell of a distance between this fellow and the number of real monsters we found recently.
