Hamilton judge reprimanded, ordered to apologize to Peter Khill after giving wrong manslaughter sentence

Ontario Superior Court Justice Andrew Goodman has been publicly reprimanded and ordered to apologize to a man found guilty of manslaughter for imposing a prison sentence two years longer than intended at the end of the high-profile case.

Goodman waited over a year before admitting he’d meant to sentence Peter Khill to six years in prison for manslaughter, not eight.

Khill had been found guilty in the 2016 shooting death of Jonathan Styres, a 29-year-old Cayuga father of two from Six Nations of the Grand River.

He should never have been found guilty to begin with.
