So a man in Canada kills his parents, with an axe, and is rewarded for it by inheriting their money. You see, there is a statute that says that if you are held criminally responsible for a person’s death, that you can’t inherit from them, but the problem is that he was acquitted by reason of insanity.
Sick, yes, and its tempting to blame the courts. But, I won’t. I get the feeling that the actual blame lies with the legislature in Canada. Is it so hard to understand that sometimes people kill without being held legally liable?
Anyway, you can read about it, here.
