More jail time for man who tried to flee police
Poll
Yes
A Lethbridge man who attempted to flee from police in a stolen vehicle will have to spend a few more weeks in custody, even though he hoped to be released last week. Anthony Douglas Johnston had hoped Judge Kristin Ailsby would agree with a defence recommendation last week for a sentence of 13 months, which would equal the amount of time Johnston has already spent in remand on several charges, effectively concluding his sentence. The Crown, on the other hand, was seeking a 25-month sentence in a federal prison.

[applause] back in 1965, the most significant piece of legislation ever passed. it s the only federal law that allows national government to actually suspend in place a state law in order to protect the rights of individuals under the 14th amendment
