Increased sentence for man convicted for 2011 drunk-driving death
The Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan has increased the sentence of a man convicted for his involvement in a high-speed collision that killed a teenage girl nearly two years ago.
Kirk David Ross’ sentence was increased to 30 months, but he received four months credit for his time in remand. The court also set aside his probation order.
The three appellate court justices unanimously agreed on July 15 to the Crown’s appeal of Ross’ 20 month sentence on a charge of impaired driving causing death.
With time in remand factored in, Ross was set to serve 18 months in provincial custody.
