[glow=red,2,300]DAY #1[/glow] www.canada.com/topics/news/story.html?id=dafda711-5347-4050-b704-97769090a6b5Wow. This guy was more gruesome than I imagined. Excerpts below are shocking..."A 22-cal revolver with a dildo fitted over it was found in a shelf. The dildo was swabbed and the DNA mixture matched Wilson and Pickton."
"Two months later, police checked two chest freezers and discovered two partly decomposed heads in two white five-gallon buckets.
Crown said DNA analysis matched the skulls to Abotsway and Joesbury. Those heads had been cut in two vertically. Also found were the hands and feet of Abostway and Joesbury.
Both skulls had 22-calibre bullet holes. In one case a bullet was recovered. Pathologists will testify the heads were cut using a power saw." I have a feeling this is going to be huge. This could be bigger than Bundy, Dahlmer, and Berkowitz.

Pardon my ignorance... but just from what's been released on the first day of trial, that seems like pretty convincing evidence to me. What kind of defense is Pickton's lawyers planning to use?
Ricky.

He's pleading Not Guilty and does not have to prove his innocence, that's up to Crown. Basically his defence will likely try to shred each witness and each piece of evidence down to provide a reasonable doubt... somehow.

He also apparently confessed to investigators and an undercover cop in jail that he killed 49 women and wanted to do one more to make it an even 50

I think the really disturbing question that hasn't been answered is what happened to the pigs that he fed the bodies to? I mean did those make it into people's food? Hooker flavoured bacon is NOT COOL.

Is there much in the media about this in the US? CNN only has two articles both from last week near the beginning of the trial and both taken from Reuters. If convicted Pickton may end up with a higher death count than a lot of the celebretized American serial killers. Kinda strange that it's hardly being covered much.
