THREE criminal cases were decided this week in Canada which acquitted offenders who where literally high out of their mind on magic mushrooms.
Until this week, Canadian criminal law had a section that said that if you voluntarily got yourself so ****** out of your mind ("extreme ************"), that you didn't know what you were doing, that is NOT a defense in a crime. Which you'd think is common sense. This law was in response to who a guy was successfully acquitted of ****** a 65-year old woman in a wheelchair while he was *****. Yeah, it was such a fucked up case that the law was literally ****** overnight so no one else could use that defense.
But last Friday the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that provision was invalid, i.e. extreme ************ IS A DEFENSE for violent crimes, even assault or ******.
The cases involved a guy who broke into two houses and assaulted the people inside, to a guy who ******** his ******, claiming "I am God". And now all three of these fucknuts are acquitted, along with the next group of idiots who are going to be using this defense.
Basically, you just have to prove that you were so ****** out of your mind that you are basically an "automaton", that you literally don't know what you're doing - even though you can walk, talk, break into a house & **** people. I can't express how fucked up this is. And the fact that it was a unanimous decision. Maybe the judges were also high on shrooms when they rendered the judgement.
