On a cool fall night in September of 2002, two girls viciously attempted to murder an unsuspecting taxi driver. .
The consequences, for two the girls of seventeen and eighteen include one year's probation and fifty hours of community service respectively. I do not think the consequences justify the means; it was clearly an attempted murder. Investigators considered what happened, and a verdict was issued, on the other hand, if what could have happened was taken into their consideration I believe the verdict might have been somewhat different. The article states "he grabbed it and threw it out the driver's side window". Mahed Hawari, the taxi driver, issued this statement in which he was referring to a knife. If his quick thinking and reflexes had not been available at that precise moment his chances of surviving would have been monstrously low. Any average man or woman who did not have such mental and physical and reflexes, would have surely been dead at this point of time. My verdict would include charging them under the account of murder. I believe that attempting to murder someone, should be given the same consequence as a murder itself. If this would have been the case, in this trial, the girls would have received seven to fourteen years of imprisonment for accompanied second-degree intentional homicide, under the Canadian Criminal Justice Act. I believe placing them in prison conditions for at least seven years will impact their lives greatly and make then experience life which is worse than any death. This is a punishment that I consider fair. .
