I just hope we can all learn from the many mistakes made at seemingly every level. The justice system itself is at fault here, from the way these police raids are approved and carried out, all the way through to prosecutors who somehow thought that first-degree murder charges could actually stick. We should also question our weapon possesion and drug laws, and Parasiris's alleged disregard for both. In short, there were enough screw-ups here to write a book about. For the sake of Const. Tessier's memory, we can only hope that many lessons will be learned. Stephen Legler Candiac - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
