Jurors in the Court of Queen's Bench in Calgary took 11 hours to convict Mr. Steinke, now 25, of three counts of first-degree murder in the April, 2006, deaths of an eight-year-old boy and his parents. The couple's daughter, known in court as J.R., was convicted last year on the same set of charges. Neither she nor her family can be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23026/jeremy-steinke/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22960/jeremy-allan-steinke-2 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22960/jeremy-allan-steinke-2#comments Sat, 22 Nov 2008 23:54:40 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=22960 In the weeks leading up to the slaughter of a Medicine Hat family, Jeremy Steinke exchanged e-mails planning the murders not only with his underage girlfriend - whom he describes as the mastermind of the plot - but also with two unnamed friends, an Alberta court was told yesterday.

Many of the Internet musings and exchanges were presented during the girl's trial last year, when she was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder. But new e-mails were made public yesterday at the Court of Queen's Bench in Calgary, where Mr. Steinke is facing the same set of charges.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22960/jeremy-allan-steinke-2/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22959/canadas-youngest-convicted-multiple-killer-gets-8-12-years-4-in-custody http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22959/canadas-youngest-convicted-multiple-killer-gets-8-12-years-4-in-custody#comments Wed, 07 Nov 2007 23:45:23 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=22959 convicted multiple murderer to 10 years - the maximum allowed for someone her age - for the slayings of her mother, father and eight-year-old brother.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22959/canadas-youngest-convicted-multiple-killer-gets-8-12-years-4-in-custody/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22958/jeremy-allan-steinke http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22958/jeremy-allan-steinke#comments Mon, 09 Jul 2007 19:43:19 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=22958 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22958/jeremy-allan-steinke/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17181/girls-murder-trial-delayed http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17181/girls-murder-trial-delayed#comments Wed, 17 Jan 2007 16:41:48 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17181/girls-murder-trial-delayed http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17181/girls-murder-trial-delayed/feed 0
