smiles 0 #1 December 10, 2007 The unsophisticated and simple man, who described himself in a police interview as a "just a little old pig farmer," still faces 20 more counts of first-degree murder. B.C. Canada- pig farmer Willy Pickton has been convicted with second-degree murder in the deaths of Sereena Abotsway, Mona Wilson, Andrea Joesbury, Georgina Papin, Brenda Wolfe and Marnie Frey. ............................ Some family members were shocked when the verdict was first read out, moaning when they heard the words "not guilty of first-degree." ............................. Drama accompanied the reading of the verdicts. The courtroom first heard the words "not guilty" in association with the first-degree murder charge, and some thought Pickton had been acquitted. The courtroom then fell silent as it became clear Pickton was convicted of second-degree murder for all six victims. .................................. The difference in the two types of convictions: The sentence for first-degree murder is life in prison with no parole eligibility for 25 years. Someone convicted of second-degree murder will also be sentenced to life in prison, but could have their minimum parole eligibility date set to anything between 10 and 25 years. ..................................... A further 20 counts of first-degree murder against him will be dealt with at a later date. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20071209/pickton_verdict_071209/20071209?hub=TopStories re: previous post Jan 13, 2003: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=348383;search_string=pig%20farmer;#348383 SMiles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warpedskydiver 0 #5 December 10, 2007 I understand your point, but given that farmers often feed dead animals to the hogs I would say you would have nothing to worry about. Hey I am sure he was not very kind to the pigs either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 232 #6 December 10, 2007 Quote On March 10, 2004, it was revealed that human flesh may have been ground up and mixed with pork from the farm. This pork was never distributed commercially, but was handed out to friends and visitors of the farm. Another claim made is that he fed the bodies directly to his pigs.[8] Blech!!!"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #7 December 10, 2007 For those of you who enjoyed the pig roasts at Pitt Meadows throughout the nineties and after until the arrests were made, guess where the pigs came from? Hint: it's the closest pig farm to the DZ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
