Show me the Justice

Hang on a sec... aren't "two concurrent 18-year prison terms"... just lawyer-speak for "one term with one third off for good behaviour?"
-- TORONTO -- The decision means Tyshan Riley, 28, will not be prosecuted for the first-degree murder of Eric Mutiisa, 23, shot to death on a driveway in Scarborough’s Malvern area in November 2002.

Nor will he stand trial in the fatal shooting of Omar Hortley, 21, who died in January 2004 as he walked alone on a Malvern street to watch TV at a friend’s house.
Give me one good reason Tyshan the serial killer should ever, ever get quit of federal lockup.

No wonder these bangers just laugh at us.

"I think that "trying to turn his life around" is third on the list of most dangerous vocations, right after fisherman in the Bering Sea and Taliban scout."
