Corey and Cody Manyshots will have to wait another three months before they learn their sentence for the kidnapping and repeated rape of a Calgary teen.

It’s been nearly three years since the brutal attack. Sentencing has been delayed several times.


On Thursday, court heard psychiatric assessments did not address how extreme fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) impacted the commission of the brutal crimes.

Mitch Stephensen is defence for Corey and told court his client needs structure.

“He needs supervision, that’s for sure,” Stephensen said.

He said Corey has an IQ of 46 and said “that brings him within the bottom 0.1 per cent of the general population.”

Stephensen suggested a sentence of two years followed by three years probation, which would be after enhanced 1.5 credit for time already served.

Alain Hepner represents Cody. He suggested a term of five years in prison after enhanced credit for time served.

“We can’t put people with FASD in prison forever,” Hepner said.

He said Cody was left to his own devices at an early age and began using crack and amphetamines as a teenager.

“These two men fell through the cracks of life. They didn’t stand a chance when they were born.”
Judge Semenuk agreed that the circumstances are unique.

“I’ve never seen a case like this before,” he said. “How on earth could there be any proper community supervision when the accused is released?”
