-- The prosecutors in the Turcotte's trial have appealed the decision and verdict of the 11 jurors who
after 6 days of deliberation came back with a ''criminally non responsible'' verdict; we don't know
which points of law the decision to appeal was made on, but they must have found either, aberrations from
the Judge's interpretation of some facts or probably new evidence that could have been omitted at
the trial; it's all speculation for now. Turcotte is the Cardiologist who ''butchered'' his two children in
2009 with a knife, around 40 stabs wounds were found on their poor bodies: their names are Olivier
and Anne-Sophie, 3and 5 yrs old. Turcotte admitted killing his children but pleaded ''insane'' at the
time of his acts. The jurors ''bought'' the defense angle with the help of some Psychiatrists testimony
as ''nobody can't be in his sound mind and commit these hideous crimes'' He (Turcotte) lost his mind
after a ''nasty break-up'' with his wife at the time and wanted to get back at his wife (my take on it) and went
for his children instead. That is what most people think here in Montreal-Quebec and wish to demonstrate
that Turcotte wasn't in a state of psychosis at the time, but much more in a state of ''pure hatred''with
suicidal ideas; but couldn't find the courage to kill himself, instead went for the ''highest of crimes'' killing
your own. He is now under observation and evaluation in a Psychiatric ward. I don't want to live in a
society that could soon release a man who killed his children and admitted it; we don't need to have
attended the trial to know that somehow this Justice system is broken; too many cases from the past
have had the ''no fault, non responsible'' angle and came up with a favorable outcome for the killers;this
is the last straw being broken and a Manifestation will take place at the Montreal Justice Hall on
