Clearly, he got away with this crime despite the charges laid against him, as he was given the legal right to freedom, which he then abused to kill 49 lives.

Having said that, Pickton got away with such a wicked scandal that perhaps he wanted to keep pushing buttons to see what else he could get away with. Our legal system has a foundation of a presumption of innocence, everyone is innocent unless proven otherwise. This serves justice to several citizens, however, there are also consequences to this right exemplified in Pickton’s early case because there just wasn’t a sufficient amount of evidence to convict him guilty without
