The only fatal error was that he was charged with 2nd degree murder. If you go vising somebody with a loaded handgun with 2 clips in reserve you are not going there to play chess.

A father should be allowed to shoot you if you're 24 years old and you're banging his 16 year-old daughter.

The first witness to take the stand was RCMP Sgt. Scott McMurchy, a corporal stationed in Yorkton at the time of the shooting. Court heard that McMurchy was one of the first officers to respond to a call that shots had been fired.

McMurchy said he saw Walker leaving Hayward's home and took him into custody. The officer then entered the house.

"Immediately upon going in the front door, in the front room of the house, there was a male subject and a young girl, a teenage girl cradling that male subject," said McMurchy. "He was obviously deceased."

The only fatal error? Why did this guy have a handgun? Shooting foxes probably.

Wonder if he'll get more time than Robert Latimer?

At least give him the first ten bullets freebees.

No but going to try to get your daughter away from a known drug dealer warrents some form of protection I'm sure.
I do remember when this firsat happened, there was allot of praise for this guy. Also his daughter now says she hasn't used drugs since that day so if nothing eles he'll have peace of mind in prison that his little girl won't end up a crack whore

[Brenda]

I can so understand this mans state of mind... He killed for his daughter. I hope she turned out ok...

Exactly.

Where the hell was the Crown when a 24 year old drug dealer was indoctrinating a 16 year old girl into drugs and, probably, prostitution? My guess is that the father called the police for help and they declined, thus his actions which I wholeheartedly support and endorse.

See, my question is why the vermin wasn't shot by the RCMP?

unfortunately, i think this was the only way to spare his daughter's future.

Legal age of consent is 16. As far as the law was concerned it is perfectly legal. Unless they actually catch him selling/giving her drugs or pimping her out.

He should have used a crowbar, claim that he keeps it in his car, and maybe have gotten manslaughter...just saying.

[Thanos]

Given the dangerous nature of the drugs involved, this sounds like this 'boyfriend' was really just a pimp priming the girl into becoming an addicted street prostitute. On the surface this looks a whole lot different and much more sinister than a couple of kids smoking pot in the basement. If that's the case then the dad certainly did the right thing. He may be legally guilty for the extreme he believed had to go to but existentially he's a goddamn hero for saving his child, and whatever other girls who would eventually fall into that asshole's clutches, from a horrifying and lethal fate.

[andyt]

What drugs were those?

Guess he sacrificed himself for her. Somebody brought up the Latimer case. I'm fully sympathetic to Latimer, but not this guy. I do believe he needs to be convicted. Of first degree murder really. At the same time, it would be nice if the judge had some leeway in sentencing. But that doesn't really fit with the Cons policy of having mandatory minimums for everything. Yet it bet it's Con symps who mostly defend this guy.

And that exactly what's wrong with our system of 'justice'. It required undeniable proof, at which time the young girl's (ie: victim's) life is already ruined.

Her father knew want was going on, and protected his daughter regardless of the 'law' or his own future. But yea, the guy should have had a 'hunting' accident or unfortunate gun cleaning incident.
