World Briefing | The Americas: Canada: Appeal In Serial Killer CaseProsecutors in British Columbia asked an appeals court to set aside six second-degree murder convictions against Robert Pickton, and order a new trial on 26 charges of first-degree murder. Relatives and friends of many of the victims were disappointed that Mr. Pickton, a pig farmer arrested in 2002, was found guilty by a jury last month only of second-degree murder, which does not require proof of premeditation. The prosecutors said the judge made errors, including his decision to split the case and put Mr. Pickton on trial on 6 counts of first-degree murder last year, with a trial on the remaining 20 counts to be held this year. Even if the government appeal is successful and Mr. Pickton is convicted on all 26 counts of first-degree murder, it will not change his sentence of life in prison without the chance of parole for 25 years. The remains of the victims, mostly prostitutes, were found buried on his farm in a Vancouver suburb.
