Al Jamoud was found Not Criminally Responsible. The article you linked, and most mainstream media hype this as "a criminal getting away scott free" I addressed the fact he was found NCR, and what that actually means, the safety measures put in place, and how they are assessed.

But sure, bud, whatever you say.

A jury found him guilty. Are they now racist? A judge sentenced him to 6 years prison. racist? The point of article, and opinions of many Canadians is the appeal process has lost site of justice.

Are you reading anything you're commenting on? Where in anything I've posted here, have I mentioned racism?

The NCR charge in relation to the two deaths cannot be appealed.

What is being appealed is the charge of driving without a license, and endangerment: the charges placed by the police when he was originally pulled over. His lawyer is appealing those charges because that's what defence lawyers do. The lawyer is literally doing his job.
