Sorry if this has been asked before, but how long will this appeal process possibly take? Are we talking months or years before we know if one will be granted?
The guest lawyers on different news networks said it may take up to a year just to find out if he gets an extension. Once the extension is allowed, the appeal will proceed automatically. The appeal is could take up to another year or it may go faster, dunno. But you know how slow the wheels of justice are in Canada, gosh it took three years to get to his trial...
I'm normally against the death penalty for various reasons (it is an easy way out, not real punishment... but I won't get into it)... but in this case, I do wish we had it. This creep is going to keep trying everything he can to torture the family of his victim. That is all he is doing now. And he will use every resource that he is given to make sure he can continue having his "fun". It is sick, and somebody needs to put a stop to it. When will these people stop having more rights than their victims and the families of the victims?!??!?!?! :banghead: :maddening:

I am humbled and angry that MR is smarter than I am. DAMN !!
OK so basically this is saying the jurors are stupid and didn't understand the judges instructions to them, didn't know how to follow instructions from the judge. The judge didn't instruct them properly blah, blah, blah. The is desperate and will forever remain desperate because he won't be going anywhere outside of prison walls for the remainder of his life. The evidence was presented, the jurors listened and used their common sense based on the information and evidence given. It was and still is blatantly obvious MR was the instigator behind Tori's death. It was deliberate, premeditated and his past shows he is a sexual deviant, he is were he belongs and where he will die.
There would be no need for the death penalty if our government would stop protecting these monsters and put them in with the general population or at least house them with their like minded kind. It's that simple. When you break the law as serious as this, you should have no rights. JMHO.

Just finished reading "The Dating Game Killer" true story about Rodney Alcala. If you think the wheels of justice are slow now--they literally sided with a rapist and killer and allowed him many appeal and retrials. This was before DNA testing was perfected.
He did appeal after all? Holy crap, I need to go back and read the thread since the last time I was here!
I need help on an off-topic thing again. Someone on another message board I frequent is missing her dad. His name is James Lund, and he was in the Washington/Oregon area. His last cell phone ping was from yesterday at 3 a.m. in the Warm Springs Reservation area. I feel awful for her, and I want to help. I suggested she post about it here, but her account is waiting to be approved. What should I do to help her? Where should I post? Please let me know, or if someone already knows, please go ahead and post about it. Here is the link to where she talks about it (hope this is okay): http://freejinger.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12079&p=351260#p351260
I PM'd Salem, but then it occurred to me that she might be on holidays or something.
Perhaps this thread will assist? keep us posted,

Thanks, Bravo. Salem actually got back to me almost right after I posted that. He was found--he had committed suicide. I feel so bad for his daughter. I "know" her from another site.
ETA: Something on-topic...Rafferty's request for an appeal (or extension?) sounds like the desperate scrabblings of someone who has nothing to lose. I hope nothing comes of it, and that it's decided quickly.
So very sorry to hear the news of suicide. Yes Rafferty has 2 hurdles. Even if he is granted the extension i think thats as far as it will go. Even tho we don't like it. Convicts are afforded the right to appeal. Guess he is bored already in the knew digs. Or scared chitless. I'm going with the latter :giggle:
