Canadian Justice System on death row

Judge Heather Pullan is one of  the putrid judges (we have an abundance of them) shovelling dirt on the coffin of our Justice System.

Two Manitoba teens have been sentenced for their roles in a botched carjacking which ended with the owner being accidentally decapitated at the side of a highway.
The girls were 17 and 15 at the time of the July 2011 incident that left 32-year-old Roberta McIvor dead. Both pleaded guilty earlier this year to manslaughter and car theft. They returned to court Thursday to learn their fate.
Provincial court Judge Heather Pullan gave the pair the maximum youth sentence of two years jail and one year of community supervision. However, both were given credit for a year of pre-trial custody, leaving them with 12 months going forward.
Defence lawyers had asked for no further jail time. The Crown wanted two more years, saying Pullan didn't have to give any credit for time served under the YCJA.
It was an emotionally-charged sentencing hearing that had to be moved from Sandy Bay First Nation to nearby Portage la Prairie because of serious threats made against the pair and their families.
Crown attorney Joyce Dalmyn said many residents continue to wrongly believe the girls committed a "ritualistic murder" based on Satanic beliefs and have vowed revenge. There are also those who think there was a sexual element to the grisly crime.....

Two Sandy Bay First Nation, Man., girls  have been given the maximum two years under the Youth Criminal Justice Act for the decapitation manslaughter death of Roberta McIvor, but will serve just one year due to time served. 
Justice Heather Pullan found both accused to be directly responsible and active participants in the crime. Each will face curfews, a 10-year firearms prohibition, as well as a no-contact order with the family of the deceased upon their release. 
It’s also expected that the two girls will have a conditional supervision requirement upon release. 
Roberta McIvor’s mother, Cindy Rubio, was not impressed with the sentence handed down by Justice Pullan. Rubio plans to ask for an appeal, as she would like to see the accused serve more time in jail.....
