More Case Study

Members of the jury were shown pictures of decompising heads, hands and other remains. A witness said that the skulls were cut from both front and behind and they had been forced apart when the cuts almost joined. There was also some gunshot wounds on some victems but they couldn't be linked to any of the guns found on the property. They found out that a 22-caliber revolver with a dildo attached over the barrel had got DNA on from a victem and possibly Pickton.

The Jury for the trial took nine days to decide the verdict: Guilty! He was guilty on six counts of second-degree murder. The jury looked at all the evidence which was: five of the sixty-one items found linked to a missing woman and possibly Pickton, an eyewitness account who saw him in a room with a saw and a woman's body hung.

He was sentanced to life in prison with a possible parole after 10 years.
