It91裸聊视频檚 unlikely that Chad Alphonse will be sentenced for the 2016 killing of his friend until at least the summer.

Alphonse was found guilty of the manslaughter death of Waylon Jackson at the end of March, but his sentencing date was awaiting the completion of a Gladue report, which his lawyer Terry LaLibert茅 requested at the time of the verdict. LaLibert茅 said in court Monday that the report has yet to be started.

There is somebody lined up to do the assessment, however, LaLibert茅 said his client will not be paying for it or even applying for aid to cover the cost so the process has been at a standstill.

A Gladue report takes, on average, six to eight weeks to complete and it contains recommendations to the court about what an appropriate sentence might be once factoring in the Aboriginal persons91裸聊视频� background such as: history regarding residential schools, child welfare removal, physical or sexual abuse, underlying developmental or health issues, such as FASD, anxiety, or substance use.

Justice Alison Beames ordered a Pre Sentence Report on Monday, and that would add another six to eight weeks to the process. That process could also get the ball rolling for completion of the Gladue report.

Depending on the findings, Alphonse could be facing a wide variety of sentences.

LaLibert茅 said he may argue for the judge to hand down a conditional sentence, meaning no prison time.

91裸聊视频淟ocking another native person up in circumstances (like this) would be a tragedy,91裸聊视频� said LaLibert茅. 91裸聊视频淎nother native guy going to jail91裸聊视频� there are far too many already there.91裸聊视频�

According to Statistics Canada91裸聊视频檚 most recent figures, Aboriginal adults in federal correctional services accounted for 28 per cent of admissions to custody and 26 per cent to community supervision.

The death of Waylon Jackson March 11 2016 is also a 91裸聊视频渢ragedy,91裸聊视频� said LaLibert茅, but it was never murder.

91裸聊视频�(Alphonse) is a very nice young fellow and this is a shock to his system,91裸聊视频� said LaLibert茅. 91裸聊视频淚t was of-the-sudden. It was a friend of his and there was too much alcohol 91裸聊视频� thank God there weren91裸聊视频檛 guns around. There was a couple of knives lying around and they got used. (It was) a tragedy of alcohol.91裸聊视频�

Since that time Alphonse has been an active participant of Vision Quest, a program created by the RCMP that provides education regarding the disease of addiction and the accompanying lifestyle.

Its aim is to help its clients to gain insight and direction towards individual change and a successful reintegration back into society, and LaLibert茅 said Alphonse is a 91裸聊视频渟tar91裸聊视频� in the program.
