Serial killer Robert Pickton in critical condition after prison assault

Convicted serial killer Robert Pickton is in critical condition after he was assaulted in Quebec's maximum-security Port Cartier Institution.
Pickton was convicted in 2007 of six second-degree murder charges. The remains or DNA of 33 women, many of whom were taken from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, were found on his farm in Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Neetu Garcha reports on the investigation into the assault, and how the families of Pickton's victims are reacting.

Karma for Pickton, but our great supreme court ruled not long ago that guys like Pickton should have the opportunity for parole and that giving guys like Pickton multiple life sentences is cruel and unusual punishment. So they struck down the law that allows judges to send multiple murders to prison on multiple life sentences, so guys like Baumgartner who killed 3 co-workers, or the Toronto Van attacker who killed 10, and the case that did all this was brought by Alexandre Bissonnette, who shot and killed 6 people in Quebec. Yep if our Supreme court today was judging Nazi's in 1946 they would have sentenced them to life WITH eligibility for parole. Who cares about the public or the victims.
