The
Crown prosecutor and defense lawyers in Donnie Snook's sentencing
hearing speaking out on the rationale behind their respective sentencing
submissions.
Prosecutor
Karen Lee Lamrock tells CHSJ News the sentence needs to act as a
deterrent. She's recommending 21 years, and that Snook not be eligible
for parole until at least half of his sentence is served.
Defence
Dennis Boyle tells us it was difficult but he recommended 12 years
because Snook cooperated, is a good candidate for rehabilitation and was
victimized himself as a boy.
Snook will be sentenced by Judge Alfred Brien on October 10th.
