  I don't get how they call it "life" but you can be paroled in 17 years? For most people, that's NOT LIFE.

  Why are Canadian courts so lenient in these heinous crimes? Totally baffling to me..

  2nd degree murder for stabbing her 75 times?  How is he eligible for parole?  Did I miss something. Wrong

  When they say they want to meet up with you when you have a court appearance the following day don't do it. It's a trap.

  Why is Canada easy on these life sentences. A life sentence is life without parole especially stabbing someone over 70 times.

  And consider that he was determined by our Canadian courts to be the primary parent and was awarded full custody prior to this. Very sad and shows again how mistakes are made by authorities every day.

  If Jessica's murder was intended, how could that not be classed at first degree murder?

  Why did the boss not contact people to see where she was in the last two days. The employer is usually the first person to notify people that a person is missing.

  What an utter shame she didn't meet Ryan before Kevin.  Ryan seems like a really nice guy.

  The real author of those letters is the ex clearly, c’mon. He already said she was an alcoholic and got the kid taken away so why wouldn’t he accuse someone else of her murder to clear his name? Plus the 75 stab wounds indicates this person had something personal/hatered.

  Hmm...woman disappears the day before an important court date to get shared custody of her son...I wonder who could have done it...🤔 And I’m no lawyer, but how does “intended to kill” NOT mean the same as “planned/premeditated” 🤔🤔🤔 FFS!
