Words can not describe the disgust I have for a society that has enabled this disgusting person to profit from his crimes.

We do not have a law on the books preventing this while Ontario has one in place.

Presumably to stop a reoccurance of the Bernardo's book.

Get enraged, call, write and visit your MLA to pressure them to act quickly.

The families of the victims have been hurt far too much already.

I'm rethinking using Amazon now. They are soulless

Yes. THIS. They should have refused to have anything to do with it.

I agree. My motive was to motivate people to speak up and get MLA's asses in gear to ensure no murderer profits from their crimes.

I've made three requests to BC Govt this morning via email.

Yes , a law was passed in canada...because of Bc own serial child killer Clifford Olson who profited from his crimes. He was paid by our government to reveal the locations of some of the dead and missing children! When asked to show police officers the locations for free for the sake of the parents of his victims... Clifford Don't you care? he replied " if I gave a shit or cared about these parents I wouldn't of killed their kids in the first place" After his case a law was passed ... now these sick fucks can no longer profit off their crimes. Can you imagine if they still could? Millionaires while in prison making money from murder!
You will also note that NOT much can be found on child killer Clifford... That's because after making the deal with this devil and the law was passed they wanted this man to get ZERO notoriety!

Also note that Willy pickton was convicted of 2nd degree murder not first degree Wtf people! In 1997 a women escaped running from his farm stapped bleeding to death...he was charged with attempted murder after finding the key to a handcuff in his pocket that was on the wrist of this lady!but charges were later dropped because the women was a drug user the courts said she was not creditable!!! He went on to kill 12 that year! Then again a witness who was unaware of willies lust for murder and who was living at the farm stumbles in on him in his pig slater shed with a dead women hanging on a hook he was skinning her! This bitch witness did not turn him in she blackmailed him! She testified in court when he was finally caught... Clearly first degree murder he acted alone! But NO 2nd degree murder that made me so sad our soceity is so sick ...because these women were addicts they found him guilty only of 2nd degree murder! Willy probably thought he could publish a book on his crimes even though the law prevents this because so far nobody seems to care about these dead and murdered women daughters sisters and people!
I hate Willy Pickton!

Pickton can't get much personal benefit from the royalties if he is locked up for the rest of his life.....which I assume he will be.

Is he free to write a cheque to whoever he wishes at any time ? Is the public trustee responsible for the financial affairs
of those who are incarcerated? Can he write a will and leave the funds to his beneficiaries?

Prisoners have canteen accounts from which they can purchase things to make their time pass easier. Personally, I think Sisyphean punishment would be more appropriate for Pickton than anything easy. Furthermore, we do not have federal law in Canada which prohibits punishment from crime. There is provincial law in place in Ontario (because of Olsen & Paul Bernardo) Christy Clark says now that the provincial government is going to debate introducing such legislation: it's also my understanding it was the intervention of the BC Government that got the sale on the Canadian domain kiboshed.

Vantim: yes he is; no, the public trustee is NOT, and Yes, he can. You don't forfeit your assets when you go to prison unless those assets are all determined to be proceeds of crime (and even then, I'm not sure of the Canadian law on that point!).

expanding the work to tell their side of the story and select what parts of his words that wish to include.

Honestly, that seems like the best option for me. He shouldn't be able to profit from his crimes. But we can all gain from having a book about this situation that's objective, goes over the evidence and has testimony from the families and pickton himself.

olson's money was used to set up his wife and kid on a better course

they used to regularly post pictures of olson every time he applied for early release. in the last one, he looked like shit - no life left in him at all...

he died of cancer on september 30, 2011

a younger, cockier olson

a much older olson - on his way to hospice care in the hospital

In the end, there is little difference between first and second degree murder for the convict in Canada. It is a life sentence for both. The only difference is that with first degree murder, there is no opportunity to apply for parole for 25 years. With second degree, the sentencing judge can set the eligibility date to apply for parole as low as 10 years and up to the same 25 years as in First degree murder. Willie Pickton got the the full 25 years so his punishment is the same as a first degree conviction.quote peaceGuy]quote

There is a difference ask any of the victims families! 1st degree premeditated planned and Deliberate! I'm positive the families are not pleased even if this ass pickton never gets out he's guilty of 1st degree NOT 2nd. 2nd is more heat of the moment a fight between friends that's goes wrong and one ends up dead! It's usually not associated with serial killers!
This 2nd degree pickton bullshit was decided because the jury thought pickton did not act alone that he was not bright enough to commit "murder" ( how smart is a human hunter?)... This 2nd degree has also allowed pickton to continue to lie deny as he's done by writing his lies in his book! Oh and money made by his pack of lies book goes to a jail mate of willies... In prison it's a very different world by Willy giving proceeds to this jail bird don't you think that gave pickton some sonority upper hand in this doggy dog world??? He's most likely a hero to his prison buddies! Hmmmm!!'

I have no idea what he wrote in this book, but I doubt it is a confession or account of what he did. More likely he is protesting his innocence or blaming someone else/police/etc for him ending up in jail.

I would guess that it is second degree murder because they couldn't prove that it met the criteria for first degree murder ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_(Canadian_law) ).

In the specific instance with the dead woman hanging in the barn, he could (for example) argue that she died accidentally (ODed, for example), and that he was just getting rid of the body, and the crown would not be able to disprove that. The crown would have to prove that he did something that met the criteria for first degree, and they had no evidence for that. What they did have evidence for is that she died, and his actions were consistent with him being criminally responsible for that. Hence second degree murder, no matter how grotesque it might seem superficially.
