“It is impossible to be satisfied, since my son was stabbed 62 times and he will never come back. We are in Canada, and this is inhuman justice for the victims, and I am ashamed. The judge had a responsibility, and this is the best decision he could make,” she said.
To know if the sentence of the accused is too lenient, Karine Cameron evokes the shortcomings of the Canadian justice system.
“The sentence is far too lenient, it’s ridiculous. In Canada, judges aim for rehabilitation, regardless of the victim’s consideration. Compensation for victims of criminal acts (IVAC) does not even consider me a victim”, underlines Thomas’s mother.
Samuel Goulet may be eligible for parole in four years, given the three years of detention already accumulated in the Youth Center.
