Gaige Forrest was sentenced to four and a half years for the shooting in Hay River, six months for pointing a gun at a woman in Fort Resolution, and one day for assaulting a deputy warden.
Levi Cayen was sentenced to 11 years for manslaughter and seven years for robbery to be served concurrently. He is the last of four to be sentenced related to the death of Alex Norwegian. Norwegian was robbed, beaten and left to die on a remote road near Hay River, N.W.T., on Dec. 27, 2017.
Defence lawyer Alan Regel argued Levi Cayen should be sentenced to time served and 18 months of probation. He said a federal sentence would be "counterproductive" and expose Cayen to “bad influences” and further isolate him from his family.
During the second day of a sentencing hearing for Levi Cayen, Crown prosecutor Duane Praught argued Cayen should be given a 10-year sentence for robbery and 15 years for manslaughter in the death of Alex Norwegian.
Justice Shannon Smallwood said Thursday she needed more time to review submissions from the Crown and the defence before sentencing Levi Cayen for manslaughter in the death of Alex Norwegian.
