Longstanding Belfast accounting firms announce merger villagesoup.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from villagesoup.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Next month ushers in a new era for two local public accounting firms. In 1954, Raymond Nickerson started what is now Nickerson Professional Association. Son, Michael Nickerson, came on board in 1983 and took over ownership in 1987. Madeline Tomlin.
In January, a jury acquitted Nickerson of both murder counts after he testified he shot the men in self-defence.
The jury convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter for Williams’ death.
Justice Eric Macklin said the violence was the culmination of a “volatile” relationship between the Suttons and the Nickersons, who he called a “rural Alberta version of the Hatfields and McCoys.”
The deadly dispute began after 11 p.m. on April 2, 2017, a Sunday evening.
Williams’ aunt, who read a victim impact statement, said her 40-year-old nephew had finished a shift at the oilfield company where he worked as a supervisor, and planned to fly home to Prince Edward Island to see family later that week. He was celebrating with Sutton his longtime friend who was renting him a room.
Defence lawyer Akram Attia asked for the mandatory minimum sentence of four years and suggested the discharge of the shotgun was accidental or was done to scare Williams. This is as close as you can get to an accidental or unintentional causing of the death of Mr. Williams, Attia said.
Both sides agreed that Nickerson was instantly remorseful and quickly left the scene to turn himself in so paramedics could do their work.
Court of Queen s Bench Justice Eric Macklin called the situation fluid, dangerous and extremely dynamic and said he had no doubt that Nickerson and his wife were terrified when Sutton and his wife entered their home.

Yet another PDP-1 riddle, extended mode.
Yesterday, we solved the mystery of two well-known images, formerly known as “The PDP-1 at the Tech Model Railroad Club”, with the help of the Hacker News community. A triumph of shared knowledge.
In 1971, the German artist Daniel Chodowiecki (1726 – 1801) commented his etching “Enlightenment”
(Aufklärung) by the words, “However, if the sun only rises, mists do no harm.”
(Indessen wenn die Sonne nur aufgeht, so schaden Nebel nichts.) In real life, mists rise only to reveal another bank of fog. Which is the very process of research. And this is certainly no exception. So this is a post about annother bank of fog, in the amazing form factor of a fully transitorized electronic contraption apt to manipulate 18-bit words in realtime according to a stored program and human interaction.
