Indigenous woman’s background, trauma justify house arrest for DUI crash that killed her best friend: judge

An Indigenous woman from Winnipeg who killed her best friend and roommate in a drunk driving accident three years ago will be allowed to serve her sentence at home, largely because of her racial background and “life circumstances … shaped by a history of trauma and discrimination,” a judge ruled last month.

Jayden Starr Okemow, 23, pleaded guilty to one count of driving with a blood alcohol level exceeding .08 causing the death of Hayley Linklater, but only after the Crown called the majority of its witnesses.

Ontario killer remains free, despite board’s fears of ‘significant threat’

A much-convicted, 71-year-old schizophrenic man now free after brutally strangling a cellmate remains “a significant threat to the safety of the public,” according to a new ruling that singles out his unauthorized use of marijuana for concern.

George Veerman of Hamilton, Ont., was released in 2015, seven years after being found not criminally responsible for the murder, and now lives with his brother.

COURT JESTERS: Meet some of Canada’s nuttiest judges

For the past decade, the Canadian judiciary has been in the spotlight: Activist, hopelessly woke, criminal-friendly and utterly lacking common sense. Victims have lost all faith.

Starting with the Supreme Court of Canada, judges have removed themselves from the wishes and views of their fellow citizens. Only the faculty lounge is pleased.

B.C. man beat a woman with a bat in her bedroom. A judge praised his remorse and reduced his sentence

A B.C. man who broke into a woman’s home and beat her with a baseball bat while her children hid nearby was awarded a reduced sentence last week because the judge was convinced the 25-year-old is “not now the person he was when he viciously and irrationally attacked” his victim.

Craig Brentton Durando was granted a conditional sentence of two years less a day for assault with a weapon, robbery and breaking and entering — offences to which he pleaded guilty last October — allowing him to serve his time in a provincial correctional facility.

Outrage as three teenage rapists avoid jail and are fined just £26 each: ‘It is less than a parking fine’

Teenage rapists are being let off with £26 fines after being convicted of attacking girls as young as 14.

Rape campaigners reacted with fury yesterday as it emerged that in at least three cases teenage perpetrators have been spared jail and handed rehabilitation orders with financial penalties that are ‘less than a parking ticket’.

Harriet Wistrich, head of the Centre for Women’s Justice, has called for a review to establish whether lenient sentences are becoming the norm.

How can gang-raping schoolgirls at knifepoint not lead to a prison sentence?

‘I think of you as very young’, said Judge Nicholas Rowland to a trio of Traveller teenage boys in Southampton Crown Court yesterday. ‘None of you have been in any big trouble before… You have all done very well with the restrictions put in place throughout the trial.’ He assured the minors – the youngest of whom was just 14 years old – that ‘none of you need to go to prison today’.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice heard Ajitpal Singh was driving too close behind another truck that lost control and jackknifed on Highway 102 in December 2021, killing the driver of a truck heading in the opposite direction, and severely injuring a passenger.

What counts as the woods? Judge axes Nova Scotia’s ban that defied ‘commonsense definitions’

As wildfires raged across Nova Scotia last summer, the Canadian province made a simple plea to residents: stay away from the woods.

As the situation deteriorated, authorities turned the request into a prohibition: anyone caught hiking under the shade of the forest canopy faced a C$25,000 fine – a figure more than half the average worker’s yearly salary.

But exactly the emergency rules considered to be “the woods” was a challenge better suited to a philosopher than a confused hiker in a parking lot. Rock barrens, scrubland or marshes were all considered “woods”. So too was forest – but the presence of actual trees wasn’t necessary, just evidence they had once been there. Residents could still travel as long as it wasn’t “any great distance” through the woods.

Murder charges will be dropped against Kenneth Law; he will plead guilty to aiding suicide instead, lawyer says

An Ontario man accused of selling a toxic substance online to vulnerable people who used it to end their lives will no longer face murder charges and will instead plead guilty to 14 counts of aiding suicide, his lawyer says.

Kenneth Law, 60, has been publicly accused of running websites that shipped more than a thousand packages of deadly substances and other materials used for self-harm to more than 40 countries. Many of Law’s customers were young people who allegedly used the substance to end their lives; the Star has spoken to parents in Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

There’s no reason for courts to be setting Canadian immigration policy

In a recent ruling, Court of Quebec judge Antoine Piché tore a strip off Crown prosecutors who appear before him for discounting sentences based on offenders’ immigration status, to avoid non-citizens being flagged for deportation — which is supposed to happen after a criminal sentence of six months or more is handed down.

I was most intrigued by Piché’s annoyance at the widespread insistence that this doesn’t happen. This is one of those Canadian phenomena that clearly exists — National Post has reported many such cases, many of which wouldn’t be known to the public otherwise — but that we’re supposed to pretend does not.

HUNTER: Faculty lounge judge seems to LOVE foreign-born criminals

Federal Court Judge Sebastien Grammond seems to like foreign-born criminals a lot.
