看不懂！什么叫“承认“二级谋杀罪”换取较轻的判决”？有罪就是有罪，无罪就是无罪，何来“换取”一说？难道这其中还有什么私弊不成？

why such severe and serious criminal case ends up with some 'deal'?
The accused should be either convicted first degree murder or declared innocent.
In cany case, there should never be some deal!
u are wrong, most of cases end up in deal and plead bargain during the law sue, because deal is more secure and safe, it also help to understand the case more, Jury verdict has too many possibility, that is mean verdict might too hard or too soft in the case, so lawyer made a deal to compromise the verdict.作者: 路不平 时间: 2006-5-9 11:15
加拿大的deal和国内的不一样，估计是法官好奇（实际上大家也好奇），都想知道事情的真相，做个deal，反正没有死刑，十几年后都会放出来。
The judge asked the 23-year-old directly if he understood that pleading guilty to second-degree murder would mean a sentence of life in prison, and Chen replied that he did.
CTV's Peter Murphy reported from the courtroom that the murder was a kidnapping attempt that went wrong.
The gifted Grade Four student was snatched from her home in October 2003 as her parents slept metres away.
Chen, who was in Canada under a student visa that was about to expire, was desperate to remain in the country, Murphy said.
With his funds running out, Chen wanted to secure $25,000 that would pay for a marriage of convenience to keep him in the country, Murphy said.
"And so in October of 2003, he had known the Zhang family because he had visited boarders there, he broke into the house through the window, sneaked up in the middle of the night along the corridor looking for Cecilia to kidnap her."
Murphy said that Chen admitted he came upon the young girl, who was wrapped in a towel, in the corridor.
"Fearing that she was going to scream, he attacked her, wrapped the towel around her head, put his arm around her neck, choked her and dragged her outside to his trunk and put her in," he said.
By the time he got her into the trunk of his car, her body was limp.
Chen drove a short distance away, and when he went to check in on the schoolgirl, she wasn't breathing.
"So this was a botched kidnapping attempt, a very incompetent one as well because he didn't have any plans to take her anywhere. He was hoping that he could just leave her in the trunk, phone the family, get the money, and then let her go," Murphy said.
The brazen early-morning abduction prompted a door-to-door search in the area surrounding the family home in northeast Toronto and extended to an international probe where local investigators were collaborating with police in Asia.
But the search ended in tragedy when her skeletal remains were found five months later in a wooden ravine in Mississauga, west of Toronto.
Chen was arrested and charged on July 21, 2004. At the time of his arrest, police said he knew a woman who had lived at the Zhang home between September 2002 and March 2003.
The Shanghai-born man entered Canada on a student visa on New Year's Day 2001, a month before his 18th birthday.
Chen is being defended by well-known criminal lawyer John Rosen, who represented killer and serial rapist Paul Bernardo.
Neither Cecilia's parents nor Chen's were in the courtroom to hear the guilty plea.
However, Sgt. Todd Moore of Peel region police read a statement on behalf of Cecilia's parents.
"We have experienced a sense of loss that cannot be explained ... each day has been extremely difficult," said the statement from Raymond Zhang and Sherry Xu.
"The fact that there is now a guilty plea by the person accused in this case brings some sense of closure to us, but no act will ever bring our dear Cecilia back to us."
Her parents thanked police officers, friends, Cecilia's school and lawyers for their support, which "constantly inspired us to go on."作者: nickname2006 时间: 2006-5-9 11:48 标题: 那些“帮凶”们怎么不跳出来接着喊：“无辜、冤枉”了？ 作者: 费老 时间: 2006-5-9 11:58 最初由[达也1314]发布
加拿大不是没死刑么~~ 终身监禁已经是最重了吧？
陈的作案企图是： Chen wanted to secure $25,000 that would pay for a marriage of convenience to keep him in the country, Murphy said. 。 由于签证过期，为了留在加拿大，陈要搞假结婚，为此要获得2万5千刀付这笔交易。
陈决定绑架Cecilia，但在绑架过程中由于用毛巾紧紧包住她的头，并用手臂夹住她的脖子，导致了Cecilia的死亡。
Fearing that she was going to scream, he attacked her, wrapped the towel around her head, put his arm around her neck, choked her and dragged her outside to his trunk and put her in," he said.
没有周密的计划和笨手笨脚地绑架导致了悲剧的发生：botched kidnapping attempt, a very incompetent one as well because he didn't have any plans to take her anywhere.
陈在认罪时候有这么个重要情节：The judge asked the 23-year-old directly if he understood that pleading guilty to second-degree murder would mean a sentence of life in prison, and Chen replied that he did.作者: 家国无忧 时间: 2006-5-9 12:22
He faces life in prison without eligibility for parole.
应该是这个意思，在Globeandmail的消息中有这么段话：The court must now decide how long he must serve before becoming eligible for parole. That period can run anywhere from 10 to 25 years.
那段话的原文是：Min Chen, originally charged with first-degree murder in the schoolgirl's disappearance and subsequent murder, entered the surprise plea in a Brampton, Ont. courtroom. He faces life in prison without eligibility for parole.
