In a not too dissimilar case in Langley a couple years ago a homeless man was sentences to 5 years for killing someone when an argument and altercation occurred. In that case the offender was found to have expressed remorse, had no criminal record and had a history of drug use. No offer of rehabilitation and betterment for that guy though.

I have good news for you then, pretty much anyone can claim some bull#### native ancestry and get a Gladue, I have a kid from Peru going in for sentencing next week who has one based on a make believe grandmother who survived Residential School, of course she survived, she was in Peru, a thousand miles away from Residential School
