Pork - The other white meat?

Jury to See Video Showing Pig Farmer Bragging of 49 Murders
February 05, 2007 Fox News

NEW WESTMINSTER, British Columbia — Jurors in the trial of a pig farmer accused of killing 26 women were scheduled Monday to watch a video of him bragging to an undercover officer posing as a cellmate that he intended to kill "an even 50."


The video was taken in Robert "Willie" Pickton's jail cell after he was arrested in February 2002.

Pickton is standing trial for the first six counts of first-degree murder. Most of the women were sex-trade workers or drug addicts among hundreds of women who disappeared from Vancouver's gritty Downtown Eastside neighborhood.

If found guilty of 14 of the murders, he would become the worst convicted killer in Canada. Investigators say he threw drunken raves at his pig farm with prostitutes and drugs.

After his arrest in 2002, health officials issued a tainted meat advisory to neighbors who may have bought pork from his farm, concerned that it may have contained human remains.

Robert William Pickton tells Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Bill Fordy that despite DNA evidence against him, "that don't mean I did it."
