More Science Fiction Canadian Judas-Prudence

EDMONTON (CP) - A woman who admitted to concealing her pregnancy and later placing her newborn baby in a garbage bag was spared further jail time Thursday.

A Court of Queen's Bench justice sentenced 23-year-old Nicole Anderwald to 90 days for causing the baby's death by neglecting to get help after giving birth and another 40 days for disposing of the infant.

But because she had already spent 3 1/2 months in custody, Justice Terrance Clackson decided to let Anderwald go free. She will be on two years probation.

[Obligatory judicial clarvoyance] "The emotional repercussions will be a cross to bear for a long time to come," the justice added.

... At one point, the court heard, her mother gave her a note asking: "Are you making plans or are you going to dumpster the baby?"

My outrage over this insane, demoralizing story has drained me of satire, vocabulary, and the nearly the will to make this post. I received harsher treatment in school for not finishing my math homework, than this confessed baby-killer has received at the hands of Canadian Judas-Prudence.

Do not be a victim of crime in Canada. If only the citizenry could harness the clarvoyance with which our judges mete out punishments, then maybe we could steer clear of these criminals whom Canadian justices love and empathize with so much. And maybe this story will be a lesson to fetuses, everywhere, that they show better sense in answering biological birthcalls from potential murderers.

I don't even know what the fuck I mean by that. This is just so sickening...

Mr. Justice Terrance Clackson of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta should be removed from the bench and disbarred
