Many assertions in this article are written in the present tense, yet backed by cites from tabloid newspapers five years ago. This leads to significant inconsistencies, e.g. do the PRP still refer to a "murder" after the court accepted a manslaughter plea? Please consider the use of intext dates to avoid these problems, or update with current sources. LeadSongDogcome howl!20:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Per the BLPN, I suggest we remove all names except those for whom we have reliable sources indication outcome (ie, conviction). This article read like a hit job on the untried (innocent until proven guilty still applies in most countries, I think?), and since the sources are so old, we must know outcome on some of them of the charges.

LeadSongDog: I have switched all instances of the word "murder" with "homicide" in order to recognize the legal difference between murder and manslaughter. More current potential sources for this article exist, and I will try to add them to the article soon.
Nikkimaria: Thank you for the help in cleaning up the article. I believe all Canadian convictions are made public, so I will look into finding those sources and adding them to the article.
