A 25-year-old man convicted of manslaughter in the death of a man from the Black Lake First Nation has been sentenced to over seven years in prison.
In September 2013, Davis Broussie was stabbed in a parking lot in Prince Albert and later died in hospital.
Charles Adam Stewart, the man convicted of killing him, was sentenced in a Prince Albert courtroom this morning.
At a sentencing hearing earlier this month, the Crown argued for an 8 to 10-year sentence because it said the incident was a deliberate act.
The defence argued for a lesser sentence because Stewart suffers with a cognitive disability.
The Court of Queen’s Bench justice opted for something in the middle, handing out a seven-and-a-half-year sentence.
The judge also recommended that part of Stewart’s penitentiary term be served in a regional psychiatric centre.
