This guy's case is actually in my opinion a desperate attempt to show that rehabilitation works.
Imo when you stab children to death you give up your right to life.

I can't even bear to read the full post. What on earth goes on, where's the switch that goes from loving father to full on psycho I want you all dead?
I read this like an hour ago and still can't get this out of my head, thanks a lot TS. Death is too easy for this guy, i hope someone hurts him worse than we can imagine.
The article in my OP doesnt explain the background so i'll make cliffs.
1. Turcotte and his wife are happily married. He's a very reserved guy.
2. Turcotte's wife starts an affair with her personal trainer.
3. They get divorced due to this.
4. One night, Turcotte has the custody of his children.
5. He puts them to bed, then drinks window-washer fluid to, according to him, kill himself.
6. It doesnt work, and under the influence of the fluid, stabs his son 23 times and his daughter 29 times.
7. Both children have numerous defensive wounds.
8. Pleads temporary insanity and his acquitted of all responsibility.
DISGUSTING.
How in the hell did he prove that he drank the window-washer fluid BEFORE kill his children.
Completely unbelievable story. I'm not sure how canadian law works, but in the US when you make an "excuse" like insanity or self defense the "reasonable doubt" standard falls upon the accused. He would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suicide attempt caused the murders and was not just a reaction to what he had already done.
Quebec is a f-d up place, this reminds me of the "Dear Zachary" documentary where the Quebec legal system allowed a murderer to walk free with a baby which she ultimately killed.
This guy is a Doctor. You would think he would have a more efficient way to off himself. I say the washer fluid story is BS!
Conspiracy theorist will say its a big elaborate coup in order to get revenge on his exwife for leaving him.
He's obviously a very intelligent person, as he was a well respected cardiologist before this tragedy. During the trial, a medical expert was brought in as a witness and stated that drinking washer fluid will never kill you. To which he responded that he wasn't aware. One would think, that a doctor would know which ways are effective or inneffective to kill yourself.
He has motive ; getting revenge on his ex-wife for leaving him.
He knows that as a white, well respected doctor, he might be able to sway jury sympathy his way. During his trial he showed himself experiencing enormous repent.
Once processed to the mental institute, he refused to open up during the psychiatric therapy. He only started opened up in may 2012, according to the therapist (5months ago).
Yesterday during the hearing, he said again that he regretted everything, and read alot of books, giving him great consciousness. When asked what books he had read, he wasn't able to give ONE book title.
When you take the bar of law or whatever it's called, how on earth do you defend someone like this?
