"It is an unhappy day for this court when it must sentence a young Indigenous offender to a lengthy prison period," said Van Harten.

Is this a gladue case?

If you have been charged with a crime and are an Aboriginal person, there are special cultural considerations that the court must take into account in assessing your case. This applies to all Aboriginal peoples of Canada, including status and non-status Indian, Inuit, and Métis and whether living on or off reserve.
