Three judges have reserved their decision as to whether the case of a Halifax man who killed an off-duty police officer should be re-examined.

Christopher Garnier - who strangled 36-year-old Catherine Campbell and used a compost bin to dispose of her body - is appealing his second-degree murder conviction and sentence.

Capt. Kimberly Fawcett, who honorably served her country, has had to fight to get the government to pay for her prosthetic leg. She deserves better, Rob Breakenridge says.

Murdered cop Catherine Campbell can't speak for herself to condemn the Liberals letting veterans benefits going to her killer. So her mother says she is speaking for her.

Veteran Affairs Canada cannot say how family members of ex-soldiers receive government-backed benefits. The lack of data has some critics worried.

But there is no indication at this time whether that change will mean a convicted killer will stop getting the benefits.

It remains to be seen whether any members of the government will break ranks and call on the minister to act.

Seamus O'Regan said leaving money unspent differs from the situation the party criticized during the last campaign because they have been making other investments.

Christopher Garnier was convicted in December of second-degree murder and interfering with a dead body in the death of 36-year-old Catherine Campbell.

John Micallef was told Veterans Affairs wouldn't cover his wife's costs because she didn't serve. Yet, convicted murderer Christopher Garnier's PTSD treatment is covered and he isn't a veteran either.
