Kenneth Ratte is a Canadian citizen, who has been called a ''"career criminal"''.〔 〕 He has been convicted of over 60 crimes. In 1991 he was identified as one of 34 convicts in custody in Canadian prisons who had been diagnosed with an AIDS infection.〔 〕 In 1991 guards, calling upon the terms of their union's contract, argued that Ratte should be kept in isolation, because his infection posed a risk to their health.〔 〕 Ratte argued that this segregation violated his rights. In 2000 Ratte was convicted of attacking guards, and trying to infect them.〔 〕 According to the ''CBC News'' Ratte requested a longer sentence so he would be held in Federal custody—not Provincial custody. According to an article in the Canadian HIV/AIDS Policy and Law Review he requested the longer sentence because he considered himself too dangerous to be held in Provincial custody.〔 〕 Ratte was escorted to court by four guards, wearing body armour, gloves, and protective eye-guards. Each guard was holding a leash attashed to a collar. In 2010 Ratte and two associates were convicted of a home invasion.〔 Ratte agreed to testify against a Tracy L. Caron, a Kingston area woman, who was charged with trying to hire someone to hurt Clifford Richards. Richards was murdered on October 26, 2010, at which time Ratte was already in custody. But he testified she discussed hiring someone to hurt Richards before his apprehension. In June 2013 Ratte attacked Omar Khadr, shortly after Khadr had been transferred to a prison in Edmonton.〔 〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Ratte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
