“Kelowna man sentenced for deadly attack on young UBC-Okanagan security guard
The cousin of a young security guard whose life was violently cut short in Kelowna, B.C., is deeply disappointed in the sentence handed down on Wednesday to a man responsible for her death.

are you sure about the bolded? The manslaughter charge seems like it had more to do with his psychosis and illegal drug addled state and not to avoid a trial. It doesn't seem that the crown prosecutors chose the lesser charge just because.
I'll agree it doesn't seem fair, only 15 years, but hopefully his refusal to take medication and follow treatment will give them a chance to lock him up longer.

"Undisputed forensic psychiatric evidence indicates that although Mr. Ognibene Hebbourn was criminally responsible for his conduct in killing Ms. Kaur, he did not qualify for a verdict of not criminally responsible by reason of medical disorder,
his ability to form the specific intent for murder was likely impaired."
Holmes acknowledged, however, that's small consolation for the family who will feel profound loss for the rest of their lives.
