	CBC News Indepth: Robert Latimer
		Robert Latimer, a farmer working a spread in Saskatchewan northwest of Saskatoon, killed his 12-year-old daughter Tracy on October 24, 1993.
		Critics of leniency for Latimer worried that a Supreme Court decision soft on Latimer would send a signal to many convicted murderers that they, too, may be victims of "cruel and unusual punishment" and are eligible for constitutional exceptions to reduce their mandatory minimum sentences.
		Unusual as the Latimer case is, there are related cases, such as battered women who have killed their batterers – often their husbands – and received leniency from the courts.

	Jus in Re - Volume 3 - #7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Robert Latimer premeditated the death of his defenceless, disabled daughter, Tracy, and received an unusual constitutional exemption which sentenced him to two years less a day, instead of the mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without eligibility for parole for ten years.
		Latimer's defence counsel claimed that the mandatory life sentence for second degree murder violated his right under Section 12 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter), which states that an individual has the right to be free from "cruel and unusual" punishment (Driedger, 1997: 13-15).
		Latimer, the offence of premeditated murder on a defenceless, disabled child does not constitute a gross disproportionality to the mandatory minimum of ten years imprisonment.

		Latimer's record was indeed clean, despite the fact that he was convicted of rape in 1974.
		It is still a mystery to me why Latimer, who planned his killing of his daughter for two weeks before he did it, and then killed her through an elaborate system of pipes running from his truck's exhaust, was not convicted of first degree murder.
		The evidence at the trial strongly suggests that the motive was that he and his wife did not want to see their daughter "mutilated", because the surgery she was to receive might have involved removing her leg at the joint to prevent future dislocations of her hip, and the pain that would come from them.

		No, the public’s support of Robert Latimer is founded upon the perception that life with a disability is a fate worse than death.
		Prior to Robert Latimer’s court case, I had always assumed that if I were seriously injured (in a car accident, for example) or had an urgent medical emergency, that doctors and other health professionals would devote the same amount of energy and commitment to save my life as they would for a non-disabled person.
		I support the court’s decision because if Robert Latimer had received a reduced sentence, it would have been a clear message to families and health professionals that they could feel justified and legally safe in prematurely ending the life of a disabled person.
