Sat. June 20th - Jeff Manishen + Callers

A 19 year old quadriplegic is found guilty of first degree murder in the death of York Regional Police Constable Garrett Styles. Some are questioning the first degree murder verdict which carries a life in prison, no chance at parole for 25 years sentence if the teen is convicted as an adult. If he is convicted as a young offender there is no mandatory sentence. Is this a case of first degree murder (murder by calculated intent), second degree murder or manslaughter? The teen's lawyer claimed in court his client hit the wrong pedal (gas instead of brake) in a panic at the time of the incident. Roy is joined by Jeff Manishen, Criminal lawyer and partner at Ross and McBride in Hamilton. Former Crown Attorney.
