Crown says Pritchard high risk to re-offend
Poll
Yes
If a Lethbridge judge doesn’t believe a convicted sex offender should get an indeterminite prison sentence, then he should get a determinite sentence of at least 14 years, a Crown prosecutor suggested Friday. But Sarah Goard-Baker, one of two Crown lawyers prosecuting the Trevor Philip Pritchard sex-assault case in Lethbridge Court of Queen’s Bench, wants Pritchard designated a dangerous offender and is seeking an indeterminite sentence. Goard-Baker told Madam Justice Johnna Kubik evidence presented during the dangerous-offender hearing this week and earlier in the year, shows Pritchard is a high risk to re-offend and will present a significant risk to others after he is released from custody.
