A Halifax man has been sentenced to five years in prison for stabbing another man to death in a fight over frozen food.

Brandon John Anderson, 18, was sentenced Monday in youth court after pleading guilty to manslaughter.

Paul Saunders, 21, of Quebec died after a knife-fight at a party at a Halifax apartment on April 5. He was stabbed in the chest and back.

The court heard that the party was loud and raucous, and both men had been drinking. They reached for knives after a disagreement over how long frozen Pizza Pops should be cooked in a microwave oven.

Judge Pam Williams called it a "shockingly pointless episode," the Chronicle Herald reported.

Anderson, 17 at the time of the stabbing, was sentenced as an adult to five years behind bars, minus a year for time served.

He can serve the next couple of years in a youth jail, but will be transferred to a federal prison when he turns 20.

I don't know whether this incident automatically nominates them for a Darwin Award, but it comes awfully close.

The guy only gets 5 years for killing someone???

Probably because he was a youth at the time of the incident.

That's what I was thinking. I remember seeing an episode of Law and Order when a guy was murdered at a party, and the murderer got leniency because he was drunk. McCoy dropped the ball on that one. It was easily the most passive cross-examination I've ever seen him give.

This isn't the USA where we will shove the law up an eight years old a$$. :D

[JayGuevara]

I'm confused how he only got manslaughter for purposely stabbing somebody to death over a frozen pizza.

I could accidentally give a white girl a paper cut and get felonious assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder and statutory rape for no reason. :oldlol:

not that I am in support of that, but sometimes you need to scare the public with harsher rules so such things never take place. We now have a justice system that is crowded by lawyers who are trying to break the system and free the guilty. People aren't afraid of the consequences anymore and commit whatever acts they want be it against woman, older people, kids or public/private property. The law needs to strike fear so when people try to do something ridiculous as this, they should think twice. When they do, everyone is safe and the innocent do not die.

[Styles p]

i wonder if he ate the pizza after he killed him. and who was right about the preparation time/temp.

[gts]

some people take pizza too serious

[dnyk1337]

The world needs to take some punishment tips from Francisco Franco. Only in his time was a virgin able to walk from one end of the country to the other with a million dollars in her bag and never be touched.

[SCY]

If the fact he was a minor played a role, that's retarded. A 17-year old should be expected to know the difference between right and wrong. I'm hoping there was at least some question as to whether he was defending himself since both parties had a knife. Even still 5 years just seems ridiculous.

Hold Up!

Did this happen in Canada?

WTF!

What gone wrong with Canada as of late? Isn't this the same country where just months ago, a man stabbed and decapitated another man on a bus?

So much for the low violence, low crime of Canada

[C-Webb4]

[SHEED_ gangsta]

in my toaster oven that **** takes about 7 minutes one time my younger brother took out my pizza pops early so he could heat up some leftovers. I wanted to stab him

[sunsfan1357]

So after stabbing the other guy did he have time to cook and eat the pizza pocket? If so I'd say it's worth the effort.

[Odomize]

man 1: "y'know, my mama can cook pizza in less than 2 minute."

man 2: "That's ain't what she told me last night when we were makin hot love while you were asleep. I distinctly remember she said 4 minutes on 500 degrees. Then I paid her and ran home so I could try it for myself. Sure nuff, it was 4 minutes."


man 1: *reach for knife*

That looks kinda good. . .and they only sell those in Canada?

[reppy]

This never would have happened if they were smoking pot.

[gts]

This never would have happened if they were smoking pot.you probably don't want to be firing up a fatty with a guy who kills over oven temps...lord knows what he'd do if you ate his peanut butter cups... just some advice to my friends on ISH

[reppy]

It would suck to get killed for eating some guys Push Pops.

[kentatm]

meanwhile, people in this country get tossed into jail for life for having some pot.

[Killer_Instinct]

I know I shouldn't but


:oldlol:

[kwajo]

:oldlol:
Yeah I never know how to properly react to a scenario like this where the situation is obviously obscure and would be funny if it was in a movie or TV show, but a real person lost his life, and that automatically requires a great degree of sensitivity.

[jbot]

1st of all, what the hell is a pizza pop?

2nd, i don't care if the kid was only 17 when he did it, he needs to go for 30 yrs or something. damn court system sucks in canada as bad as it does here in the u.s.:mad:

[HisJoeness]

You should help your American brethren out and Fed-Ex me a box.

[JtotheIzzo]

too bad Cool wasn't there to drop some Hot Pockets knowledge and settle the situation before it got out of hand.
