Here’s a terrible end to a sad story, Admittedly, I don’t know anything but what is written in the article, it just seems like a guy who helped someone didn’t get any justice in the end.

and here’s that part that irks me, a young guy with a lengthy criminal record - not his fault though because his race is over-represented in the justice system. I’ve taken to referring to it as the LEGAL system, seems to be less and less justice all the time.
King has a lengthy criminal record, including five convictions for assault, including assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. Justice Andrew Goodman ruled to exclude the assault convictions from what the jury heard.
King is Indigenous, Goodman said, and Indigenous people are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. King is also a former foster child whose family history includes alcoholism and abuse.
