It香蕉视频直播檚 been years, and she still can香蕉视频直播檛 say his name.
That香蕉视频直播檚 at least in part because despite being found guilty in the court of law for murder, Keith Wiens still doesn香蕉视频直播檛 appear to have accepted responsibility for killing his then-common law spouse Lynn Kalmring.
In fact, Wiens has been fighting Kalmring香蕉视频直播檚 family in a civil suit for some properties owned by the former couple 香蕉视频直播� valued at about $500,000. Her sister, Donna Irwin, said the family was initially prepared to settle for a 50-50 split.

Wiens was convicted of second-degree murder, after he shot Kalmring in the face just over six years ago in their Penticton home. From the beginning, Wiens has claimed self-defence, but in trial Crown evidence pointed to him planting a knife on Kalmring after her death. An appeal favoured the original decision.
The anniversary of Kalmring香蕉视频直播檚 murder passed less than two weeks ago, on Aug. 16, all those years hasn香蕉视频直播檛 made Kalmring香蕉视频直播檚 sudden death any easier, especially as family members feel they have been revictimized throughout the process toward justice.

Kalmring香蕉视频直播檚 estate, executed by Irwin, launched a lawsuit on Dec. 22, 2011 against Wiens for general and special damages, among other reliefs for the pain caused by the loss of their family member.

香蕉视频直播淚n particular, each have suffered, and will continue to suffer loss of services, loss of support; loss of love, guidance and affection; loss of care and loss of inheritance.香蕉视频直播�
Among the damages sought, Irwin said the family was seeking about half of the value of a property shared by Kalmring and Wiens, while the other half would go to Wiens.
香蕉视频直播淗e香蕉视频直播檚 just basically saying, 香蕉视频直播楴o. She香蕉视频直播檚 getting nothing, the estate香蕉视频直播檚 getting nothing,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈 Irwin said.

As the fight continues, Irwin said Wiens is self-representing in the case, and is fighting to take Irwin and the estate into a courtroom where the pair would go face-to-face.
香蕉视频直播淪o he can interrogate me and my family as to why we think the estate should get any money,香蕉视频直播� Irwin said. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e going to get in front of a judge, and hopefully a judge can either set something up where, either the judge is going to make a decision, or (Wiens) is going to have to get a lawyer.香蕉视频直播�
In a potential positive for the family, Irwin and Cummings said they don香蕉视频直播檛 believe Wiens香蕉视频直播� behaviour in the civil case will reflect well on him as he heads to a parole application after 13 years in prison.
But after watching the courts allow the civil case to drag on for six years and counting, costing the family nearly $50,000 in legal fees, Cummings said she香蕉视频直播檚 having a hard time keeping faith in the justice system.

The family brought their case to Dan Albas, then the member of Parliament for Okanagan-Coquihalla which represented the family, who took it to Parliament, but Irwin said she hasn香蕉视频直播檛 seen any changes coming down the pike.
香蕉视频直播淭he public certainly doesn香蕉视频直播檛 realize what victims go through. You hear about the stories on the news and it香蕉视频直播檚 sensationalized, and all the gory details of it all,香蕉视频直播� Irwin said.
香蕉视频直播淓verybody was interested then, but nobody香蕉视频直播檚 interested now. Nobody really knows what happens after it香蕉视频直播檚 all said and done, so I want to make sure that the public is aware.香蕉视频直播�
The Western News has reached out to the family香蕉视频直播檚 lawyers, but have not received comment as of publication.
