vancouver courts to review axe attack sentences
back story:
1 guy gets attacked by 4 at a party, and is paralyzed from the neck down when he gets struck in the neck 3 times with an axe. 2 of the offenders get off with a slap on the wrist (20 months house arrest for one, 3 years minus time served for the other), one gets off with no charges, and after the ruling, tv camera's catch them laughing on the way out of court.
bad move for them...

still sucks they only got charged with assault, but hopefully the review will result in a bit more of a punishment then house arrest during the evenings.
