Eileen Mohan, whose 22-year-old son Chris was killed along with five other people at a Surrey, B.C., high rise in 2007, speaks to reporters outside B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on July 9, 2020.The Crown and defence are jointly recommending an 18-year sentence for gang leader Jamie Bacon, who Thursday entered a guilty plea to a key role in a gangland shooting more than a decade ago that left six people dead, two of them innocent bystanders.
“It’s not outrageous,” Mr. Westell said of the proposed sentence in response to a question from the media following a B.C. Supreme Court hearing in which Mr. Bacon participated, speaking by video link from custody. “It’s a carefully crafted, joint submission proposal involving the Crown and the defence.”
A subdued and taciturn Mr. Bacon tersely responded to questions from presiding Justice Kathleen Ker as she walked him through questions in which he took responsibility for the charges, declaring, “I do understand,” and, “Yes, I do,” among other responses. When the three agents of Mr. Bacon entered the apartment unit, they killed Mr. Lal, but also killed five other people, including 22-year-old student Christopher Mohan, who lived across the hall from Mr. Lal’s residence and 55-year-old fireplace repairman Ed Schellenberg, who was working in the unit.Mr. Bacon also pleaded guilty to counselling the murder of an associate in an unrelated 2008 incident. The Crown and defence also proposed a 10-year concurrent sentence to the counselling charge.
Mr. Bacon has been in custody for 11 years, some attributable to a previous sentence for a firearms charge, with six years time linked to the charges to which he pleaded guilty.
Rubbish ...that's a slap on the wrist.
