Inadmissible In Court
There is evil in the world. We see, hear about and read about it constantly. Evil is committed by human beings upon other human beings. Psychopathological individuals who see life through black-tinted glasses. Individuals who are psychologically incapable of feeling remorse, compassion, not an iota of interest in society, incapable of recognizing human verities and values, resentful of the world at large.
What interests them is sowing discard and causing violence and grief to others. As a diverting amusement to their otherwise boring lives. As a relief to their anger at the world. Age has nothing to do with this genetically-endowed pathological state that afflicts society. There are children who utterly lack interest in the welfare of others and to whom cruelty represents an escape from the monotony of the predictable.
And childhood merging into adulthood and the senior years does not ameliorate the condition. The genetic endowment of normalcy, of being able to care for others, of forming emotional attachments, of feeling responsible for others, is simply missing. And these are the people who go about making life miserable for others at best, and performing horrible acts of violence at worst.
Two fourteen-year-old Alberta boys who had been held in a group home facility for difficult-to-handle youths escaped the Bosco Homes youth treatment centre in rural Strathcona County in 2009. With their escape, they embarked on a violent rampage around Edmonton. They broke into vehicles and homes, stole weapons, fired pellet pistols at pedestrians and vehicles.
Edmonton police finally apprehended the two boys after having received numerous complaints, including one about dangerous driving. The boys were driving a truck that belonged to Barry Boenke, 68, whom they had murdered on his rural property in 2009. They had also murdered a 50-year-old woman, Susan Trudel, whose trailer home was located on Mr. Boenke's property.
The boys were charged with first-degree murder. Now, it appears the two youths are free, released from custody. The Crown directed a stay of proceedings for a year. With the claim that they foresaw no reasonable likelihood of conviction.
A trial judge had ruled a statement one of the teens gave to police was inadmissible in court.
