I saw this on the news at suppertime & I remarked to my husband that the two accused must be very "sick" people to have taken the life of an innocent child.

Reviving this old thread because Micheal Rafferty the man accused of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing Tori Stafford has been found GUILTY on all three counts! He will be sentenced this morning but in Canada, a first degree murder conviction automaticially means life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

BTW McClinitic the co accused pleaded guilty to first degree murder in Dec 2010 and is serving a sentence of life with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Do life sentences run consecutively or concurrently in Canada TF?

It's good to know that he is safely locked away and no longer a danger.

[timfan]

I believe in Canada they run concurrent, but the likelihood of parole in this case is quite slim given the crime commited.

I sincerely hope this will give the family the final closure they need. While there will always be a hole in their hearts for their tremendous loss, hopefully will be find some peace and comfort it knowing the guilty parties will never be able to hurt another human being. It is beyond my comprehension how anyone can be so cold and calculating and heartless. My prayers go to Tori's family.
