In an example of privacy laws gone berserk, the killer of Lynda Shaw has finally been identified... sort of...
On Friday, police told a news conference in London, Ont., that privacy laws are protecting the man's identity, even though he's been dead since 1994. OPP Det. Supt. Ross Bingley told reporters: "We now know without question" the man's identity.
"We now have learned that this person was a convicted killer," he said adding that the man was on parole after serving 12 years for two other homicides.
First off, the guy's dead.
Secondly, if you are a convicted killer AND the police have evidence which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are responsible for a person's death, you should have no privacy rights where that's concerned.
If he were alive he'd be named. Why is this different because he's dead? Maybe there's a logical, although stupid, reason for this. I just can't see it.
