“I’m sorry”: emotional sentencing hearing for man accused of manslaughter
While hugging the mother of the victim, a man convicted of manslaughter was overheard saying ‘I’m sorry’.
The emotional moment happened at the conclusion of Raine Farrow’s sentencing hearing Wednesday afternoon at Prince Albert Provincial Court and was initiated by Shirley Bear who first asked his permission.
The 26-year-old was one of five men charged in the death of Byron Bear on Dec. 6, 2021. Guilty pleas were previously been entered to both manslaughter and accessory after the fact. As the proposed sentence is being contested, Wednesday’s hearing represented an opportunity for lawyers to present submissions.
