"As I found in my judgment (convicting Tschetter), the offences of criminal negligence manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death are identical," Fraser said.
"It is not the offender who put the state to the expense of a trial, nor did he put the (victims' families) and the witnesses through the trauma of an emotional trial," the judge said.
Unbelievable quote from the Judge Fraser this morning in the Sun. It's not the offender who put the families through an emotional trial???? Un-Fing-believable that this boneheaded "judge" would say something like this. He essentially blames the prosecution for the pain and suffering the families have gone through.
