Charges laid in deadly Humboldt Broncos team bus crash: RCMP

About fricking time

I don't like that they didn't announce who has been charged. Only way to know if justice is being done is that it's done transparently.

What are we at, Day 90 of the cover up ?

Too true.

Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, 29, was arrested Friday morning without incident at his residence in Calgary. He is expected to appear next week in Saskatchewan court.

He is facing 29 charges: 16 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death and 13 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily injury.

I suspect given the profile of the case, there will be no mercy from the court come sentencing. I'm not sure if they can stack jail time for this like for a murder. I'd imagine he's looking at 24 years at least for this.

Figured it was him. Figured we'd find out the name as he is charged in court.

One of my old co-workers was a relation to Ryan Straschnitzki. I'm sure she'll be very happy to see justice be done.

There’s going to be a press conference later today from the Mounties. We should get a name then.

I rewrote this 5 times before posting.

I hope her idea of justice is rather.... flexible.

Personally I love the idea of giving this guy consecutive sentences. 16*14= 224+130 (13*10) giving him a total of 354 (new Canadian high score... until Bruce McArthur gets convicted) years to think about what he's done. I'll settle for the 24 years he'll most assuredly do.

She hasn't advocated blood justice for this guy, I'm sure she's quite happy to see him do time.

The Regina Leader-Post has a pretty good write-up on this:

Question is, are they laying charges because that's what everybody expects them to do, or do they actually think they'll get a guilty verdict.

The gears of justice turn very slow, and are seldom greased.
