But Jason Russell, arguing the appeal for the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service, told the court there is no basis to reject the 18-year sentence, and noted that the standard for interfering with a joint submission is “exceptionally high.” An agreed statement of facts put before the court at sentencing confirmed a long history of abuse by the deceased over 27 years against his wife, including violence, gunplay, and coercive control. It also recounted Ms. Naslund’s depression, suicide attempts and fear for her safety, as well as her sense of helplessness and concern for her children.

kbolan Sickening. karla holmoka got 12 years for participating in torture, rape and murder of three young women. Judge is definitely wearing his gender lenses.
kbolan I had a male friend who killed himself because his wife abused him. I asked him to go for help. Shame wouldn't allow him to. We are all stuck here today, missing him. He gave me two albums 💜 'dark horse' by nickleback 'all summer long' by kid rock Both albums are outstanding
