Crown Prosecutor Andreanne Dube, however, asked the court for a five-year prison sentence in a federal penitentiary. “This is not just young boys hanging around breaking windows,” said prosecutor Dube. “His involvement with the criminal organization does raise some concerns with safety of the public.” Dube pointed out Ackegan had high-powered weapons with available ammunition when he was arrested. She said Ackegan has a lengthy criminal record dating back to 1982 for violence and weapons-related offences. Blenner-Hasset told the court Ackegan takes responsibility for his wrongdoings and wants to change. “He realizes at 41 years of age now, that he is wearing down and this is not the way he wants to live the rest of his life. He doesn’t want to be part of a gang life.”
That was the outcome of a hearing Monday morning at Prince Albert Provincial Court.
Nathaniel Carrier, 28, is facing three counts of first-degree murder, as well as one of attempted murder in relation to his young daughter. The case dates back to March 28, 2020.
The election by Carrier’s lawyer Terra Lennox-Zepp, represents the first sign in nearly 10 months of the case proceeding and comes after repeated calls from both a judge and the family for progress and resolution.
As part of his own remarks Monday, Judge Hugh Harradence reminded lawyers the previous comment by Judge Felicia Daunt telling lawyers to set a pre-trial date was “not a suggestion.”
