I'd be very surprised to hear any of them get more than 5 years for this considering this is Canada

The sentence for second degree murder in Canada is 25 years, bud.

If time in custody awaiting trial is counted against the sentence, then assuming good behavior, they'll be released to a halfway house after serving 1/3 of their sentence. So, maybe only 3 years served behind bars for a 10-year sentence.

thats a maximum sentence, courts will likely give them much much less. you can murder someone and get out in a couple years in canada. do it with a car and you probably wont even go to prison.

Murder, both degrees, carry mandatory sentences in Canada, not maximums. Adults convicted are sentenced to life, which means 25 years before parole can be considered.

Manslaughter has a maximum of life, but is usually much less.

Don't know why you are being downvoted. Canada has terrible policy on crime, particularly repeat offenders.

Anything shy of murder is effectively a slap on the wrist. Or you can just run people over in your vehicle (somehow helps if you're drunk) and it's a moving violation instead of a crime.

Sexual assault, even on minors results in little if any incarceration.

Welcome to Canada, where everyone but the victims are treated as Saudi royalty by the justice system!

Horribly biased bad faith comment but it’s still upvotes by Reddit lol. They’d rather the American method of sentencing someone to 147 years in prison for weed.

You know whats strange? I work at a Federal Medium Penitentiary in Canada. I see countless inmates daily. Some of these guys are labelled as DO (dangerous offenders). These inmates are jailed indefinitely until the parole board releaeses them, if ever. Some of the D.O.'s in my humble opinion aren't worthy of such extreme justice. Yet, some other crazy, dangerous pieces of dogshit offenders are not labelled as D.O.'s even though they should be. The whole classification of inmates and the punishments aren't consistent and seem quite random.
