Richard Shadley dead after far too long
I see that the famous Montreal lawyer Richard Shadley died this spring. I'd say we're better off, but he died the same way Pol Pot did. The same way Josef Mengele did. Peacefully, free, at a ripe old age, after destroying so many lives, never having to face what he did.
Shadley was one of the most evil men you could know and definitely a psychopath with a Napoleon complex to boot. No crime was too depraved for him to defend, no trick too dirty and no maneuver too insidious. He was a very professional lawyer and a very sick man.
He made a career out of keeping perverts, murders, anyone on the streets as well as kicking their victims when they were down! He even defended a football player who killed his wife (Tommy Kane, they had 4 kids!) All those survivors who were made to relive their traumas, all those victims he humiliated, people who never did anything to him. PEOPLE WHO NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HIM! What kind of a man does that?
Well, now he's in a special place.
And I don't what to hear "he was only doing his job". That didn't work at Nuremberg, it won't work here.
