In a decision handed down on Wednesday, Quebec Court Justice Antoine Piché slammed prosecutors in Montreal for “regularly” suggesting that offenders receive less severe sentences, including an acquittal in some cases, so as not to jeopardize their immigration status.
Lawyers are merde. You’re right they do hate us.
