WINNIPEG A former Mountie has avoided jail time after Crown prosecutors appealed a sentence for his actions during a police chase that ended with the shooting death of a man in northern Manitoba. The Manitoba Court of Appeal imposed a three-month sentence for Abram Letkeman but stayed an order that he spend any time behind bars. The appeal ruling said a jail sentence would have had an important purpose in deterring other police officers from overreaching the bounds of their authority and venturing into criminal conduct and in loudly denouncing such conduct. Even so, two of the three Appeal Court judges found the former Mountie still did not need to go to jail.
