A Nova Scotia man has expressed remorse for his role in the attack of a Cape Breton senior late last year.
Larry Daniel John Stevens of Eskasoni was sentenced to four years and seven months in jail for assault and robbery Tuesday in Sydney provincial court. I am remorseful, I feel bad for the family, Stevens said while appearing by video from the Cape Breton Correctional Centre.
The encounter began on the evening of Dec. 14, 2020, outside the Sydney Credit Union on Townsend Street when the 75-year-old victim had just finished checking his bank account.
