Murray Wood: It's time to pull over reckless people on scooters, bikes
Murray Wood says he's had too many close calls with people on scooters, bikes and skateboards. But he's never seen them ...
Admitting to beating his mother to death two years ago, a Regina man has been sentenced to 10 years in jail.
James Dustin Woody Myers, now 20, was arrested in 2013, shortly after the body of his mother, 46-year-old Rachel Shepherd, was found in an apartment. He was charged with second degree murder.
Earlier this year, a trial ended in a mistrial, due to problems with a witness.
Myers’ second trial was due to start on Tuesday, but in a surprise move, he instead pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter.
The judge sentenced Myers to 10 years in prison, but with a 1.5 credit for time served on remand, the sentence ends up being six-and-a-half years going forward.
