This post is misleading. She was found guilty of infanticide and the improper disposal of a body and was sentenced accordingly. She is only spending so little time in prison because of the amount of time she spent in remand centres, prisons, and psychiatric hospitals while her case was tried four times in six years.
Her irrational decision to commit infanticide instead of seeking an abortion, which is legal at all stages of pregnancy in Canada, is one of the reasons the Crown found she suffered from diminished moral blameworthiness.

I'm not saying I disagree with the decision. Locking her up certainty isn't going to accomplish anything. I suppose I'm more curious to the circumstances that led up to the event.
Yes, of course the side of the argument known for stalking people, assassinating doctors, blocking access to people who may be seeking services other than abortion, and bombings of both clinics and public events such as the Olympics is going to equate a clearly psychotic woman committing infanticide with abortion.
Just sentence would be to give this woman several years in a psychiatric facility and lifetime probation to make sure she doesn't go off any meds she needs.

Over those six years she's been tried, how much time did see spend in a prison? That's the only time she should be allowed to deduct from her sentence for murdering, imo.
Also, three years for murder seems low to me. People with marijuana convictions have received more time.
Re: Re: Re: Canada upholds a woman's right to choose.
What do you think more time would do in this case, aside for appease some need to punish the girl?
Its pretty clearly a psychological issue at play here
not in Canada, unless you are talking major grow ops. A 3 year sentence for drugs here is pretty major, and normally would come as a result of connections to other criminal enterprise
The murder charge she was facing has a minimum 10 year sentence.
But Canadian law has a specific provision for infanticide which it specifies is different from murder due to the psychological state of the mother. In this case, two murder convictions were reduced to infanticide on appeal. The Canadian infanticide law rarely jails the mother.
In Canada, infanticide is not murder.

Appease some need to punish the girl. If we take the "oh well, what's done is done" attitude then we should probably not have many people behind bars, at least no first time offenders serving jail time, be it murder, rape or theft.
IMO, "crazy" isn't an excuse to dismiss punishment. Call me crazy.
Fair enough, I was looking at it from a US standpoint.
