Thunder Bay Courthouse-staff photo Judge Pierce will make her decision on Brayden Bushby’s sentence on Tuesday May 4th. The court agreed that if the COVID-19 numbers are high on or around that date, then a decision will be made as to whether to proceed with that day of sentencing or delay it further. The crown is looking for an eight- to 12-year sentence along with a ten-year weapons ban and no communication with any of Kentner’s relatives, while the defense countered with a shorter four-year term behind bars. Both crown lawyers suggested this was a crime based on bias, not hate, towards women rather than Indigenous people. They indicated community impact statements suggesting otherwise were based on their own experiences and aren’t related to this case.
