Steam Thanksgiving sale started...
Not sure there's anything that's going to get me to bite.
Hearing Civ:BE is pretty terrible still.
Well, Ghomeshi has been charged with sexual assault.
... More accurately, four cases of sexual assault, and "one count of overcoming resistance by choking, an offence that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison."
Regardless of how the trial plays out, it's amazing how much came out in the public eye in between the initial allegations and now.
I'm surprised the crown believes they have enough evidence to go ahead with a trial.
Unless, of course, the evidence isn't from one of these decade-ago accusations, but is something recent (which is a definite possibility).
Hope they nail that guy.

So you can literally kill a person and get 5 years, but if you choke someone you can get life? Am I reading that right?
Not that choking someone is cool or anything, but just seems like an excessive punishment.
Well.. it's "maximum sentence".
Killing someone has a max sentence of life too. But then you get into the whole manslaughter, vs 2nd vs 1st degree stuff.
I understand your point, though. Sometimes the law is bizarro.
Yeah, I just figured choking would fall under assault. Just seems odd it has it's own category and it can go up to life.
Assault only carries a max of 5 years. Odd.
