Manslaughter Sentence After Bear Spray Tragedy | Winnipeg News

A Winnipeg man sentenced to seven years for manslaughter after a violent incident involving bear spray and a fatal shooting, originally charged with two first-degree murders—only one of which stood due to insufficient evidence. Nash pleaded guilty to killing Lee James Boulette, admitting he was surrounded by the wrong crowd and shocked by the violence. His sentence, agreed upon by both sides, reflects a weak Crown case marred by a key witness fleeing threats. With credit for time served, he’ll spend just under two years behind bars, actively engaged in rehab and faith-based programs, vowing to steer youth away from gangs and drugs. His cooperation with prosecutors and safety concerns led to his transfer from federal to provincial custody. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
