Garland Murder Trial

CaberTosser · #1 01-20-2017, 01:15 PM

I've been reading the court updates on the trial for the sick that murdered the Liknes's and their grandson, that sociopath sure planned the heck out of his crime: he researched their type of deadbolt and learned how to drill it. His evidence disposal left bone & tooth fragments but no DNA. This and he's a compulsive loner who can easily take his secrets to the grave without spilling the beans to anyone. I hope this guy rots in jail, he should really be tortured then executed but sadly we don't have that as an option.

Hopefully the cons in the crowbar hotel will do us all a favor.

I've been following this trial on Twitter - makes my guts turn reading and thinking of what and how things happened.

3 years ago (pre children) this may not have affected me as bad, but holy man, I hope they have the man who did it and I hope he rots in hell for all of eternity.

Agree he needs some prison justice and fast. From what the news says after each trial day its scary what this guy did.

MoFugger21 · #5 02-16-2017, 02:17 PM

Guilty of 1st degree murder on all three counts.

I believe there was DNA on some of the tools used to dismember the victims.

When will he be sentenced? I'd like to see him get 75 years and declared a dangerous offender.

The radio announced that the Judge polled the jury on whether they felt a concurrent sentence was warranted or a consecutive sentence was needed.

10 answered consecutive, two it didn't matter.

I hope he gets consecutive sentencing in general population.

He is old enough and with 3 counts of First Degree, he should die in prison right? Great verdict for the family. Hope the judge made sure there were not any mistakes. And he should stay in general population too.

It would take an evil person to kill 2 adults and dismember them. But a child? now that takes some special kind of evil. I cannot imagine nor verbalize what this monster deserves.

Mr Conservation · #12 02-16-2017, 03:24 PM

Absolutely the right verdict.

I have been following the trial since day one, and the evidence was overwhelming.

Lets hope the Judge does the right thing, and sentences Garland to three CONSECUTIVE life sentences, which would mean no parole eligibility for 75 years.

Not often we see "Justice" in the Canadian legal system, but I think today that Justice has been served.

Thanks to the Calgary Police Service who did an outstanding job leading this investigation, and to the RCMP who provided assistance - especially the members working in the lab to expedite processing of exhibits.

Thanks to the jury who had to listen to all the details, and look at all the gruesome evidence.

RIP Nathan O'Brien, and Alvin and Kathy Liknes.

I am sure we will never know nor want to know the details of who was killed first but imagining the terror in a five year old watching his grandparents being killed or the grand parents watching their grandson being killed proves this Garland individual to be a vile animal.
The apache tribe had a suitable punishment which would consist of burying him alive with his head and neck exposed in an ant hill. Death by a million bites would be too fast for him.

Definitely deserves a slow death!

CaberTosser · #15 02-16-2017, 05:10 PM

All of this horror and inhumanity just because the guy couldn't let go of a grudge. Garland obviously obsessed over his hatred, one wonders if he even did anything else. Combine a grudge and an anti-social creep and the result is far too much suffering.

When the murders occurred my son was about the same age as poor Nathan, it really struck a chord with me because of that.

kingrat · #16 02-16-2017, 05:19 PM

I think it did with all parents, sick.

Redfrog · #17 02-16-2017, 05:27 PM

in a case like this he should not see two sunrises. Hang him the morning after the verdict.

That is far too good for him.Chain him to a stake in a public square with the clothes he wore to court.He remains there 24/7 for 1 year and the passing public get to chuck stones at him.He gets bread and water once a day.

I think he might live for 2 days maybe 3.

A tire, a can of gas and bye-bye....

I remember leaving Ponoka when this happened and seeing the Amber Alert above the highway.
I spent the next 3 weeks waking up in my hotel watching the news with that poor kids face up there.
My son was 5 at the time, blond hair....he got lots of hugs when I finally got back home.

Can't even imagine how devistating this has been for the family, the CPS, the jurors....my god.

This guy deserves a real special kind of justice....I really, truly hopes he gets a fraction of what he deserves.

This ^ is the appropriate punishment.

Guys, have any of you seen torture? You don't want to go down that road, ever. Put him down so he can't hurt anyone else, and let who or what ever comes after this life deal with him.

gitrdun · #23 02-16-2017, 06:42 PM

Why is it that most of us Alberta rednecks agree on a fitting punishment for this monster? Yet our federal government is not on par with this.

ex811 · #24 02-16-2017, 07:11 PM

There are times when I believe the Death Penalty should be debated. Cause this POS deserves to be put to death by the Government and all it represents.
I will happily volunteer for the job as executioner, no pay required.

ronkaren · #25 02-16-2017, 07:26 PM

Like some have already suggested, real justice would be for Garland to get general population for a year. He wouldn't make the first year of his sentence. Sadly the authorities wouldn't allow it.
Consecutive sentences is probably the best to hope for. A real piece of work.

Sooner · #26 02-16-2017, 07:30 PM

Have to wonder if anyone else offended him enough and disappeared. He killed these 3 and taken the name of a deceased kid to hide from what i read. He could be a damn serial killer.

You are silly and obviously delusional if you think a hard working tax paying Canadian citizen MATTERS to them.They are more concearned about giving winter jackets to refugees and saving the earth from climate change than paying attention to what you think is important.Just shut up and continue paying money to our Socialist Government.They KNOW what is BEST for you.

Bigwoodsman · #28 02-16-2017, 07:50 PM

Since the talk has somewhat turned to what type of death sentence he should be handed out. I'd say they should tie him to a stake douse him with diesel roll a tire or two up against him then toss a match on the lot. He should die listening to his own scream.

Unfortunately our legal system does not permit justice be served on animals such as Garland and the Vaders of this world!

I hope he gets what's coming to him in the big house.

fishnamed · #30 02-16-2017, 08:18 PM

One other thing that was very obvious during the trial was how slow and calculated the police were collecting their evidence, the fact they got a guilty conviction for first degree is a shining example how good our top cops are, great job by them.
I can only say I hope there is a special place in hell for that man, this was chilling to the spine to read about. Hopefully the family gets some closure now...
