The shooter was weeks shy of turning 18 when he killed two brothers at their home and then a teacher and a teacher's aide at the La Loche high school in 2016.
Defence lawyer Aaron Fox plans to ask the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal to sentence the shooter as a youth or order a new hearing.A publication ban ordered because of the appeal prevents identifying him. Fox argued the sentencing judge focused on the gravity of the crime while failing to consider evidence that spoke to cognitive problems affecting the offender's maturity, empathy, ability to understand consequences and, above all, his level of blame.
They added that the shooter had an IQ of 68 and, at the time of the shooting, was repeating Grade 10 for a third time.
Another example on how the law in Canada protects the criminals. No one gives a rats about the lives that will never be, but poor little low IQ boy deserves a second chances...
