Crown prosecutors have formally acknowledged that the sentence for a New Brunswick man who fatally shot three Mounties must be amended so he can apply for parole after serving 25 years.
Justin Bourque was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 75 years after he pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder after targeting RCMP officers in Moncton, N.B., on the night of June 4, 2014.
A written submission from Crown attorney Patrick McGuinty on Jan. 20 to the Appeal Court said Bourque's sentence must be similarly amended. Bourque's case was on the Appeal Court docket Wednesday but no oral hearing was held and no decision released. In addition, she said, her difficulty sleeping has returned since the court decision last year that led to the potential earlier release of Bourque.
