"Justin Bourque has been sentenced to serve 75 years in prison before he will be eligible to apply for parole for the June 4 shooting rampage that killed three RCMP officers and wounded two others in Moncton.

Judge David Smith of the Court of Queen’s Bench in New Brunswick delivered his precedent-setting ruling Friday after a sentencing hearing earlier this week during which Bourque apologized to the families of the Mounties he shot.

“This has been difficult for everyone,” Smith said, describing the shootings as “one of the most horrific crime sprees to happen in Canada.”

Bourque’s sentence is the harshest in Canada since the last executions in 1962."

" MONCTON, N.B. -- A senior RCMP officer shared her sorrow Friday that a Mountie chose to go without hard body armour so that a fellow officer with children could have the protection as they responded to the fatal shootings of three Mounties last year in Moncton.

"It was absolutely heartbreaking that someone would have a conversation such as that," RCMP deputy commissioner Janice Armstrong said after the release of a review of the shootings that killed three Mounties and wounded two others.

"It is incumbent upon us in a situation like Moncton that we learn and we evolve. We owe that to the members who gave their lives that night. We owe that to the members who put their lives in jeopardy. We owe that to the two gals who were in that car talking about hard body armour."

"Published Saturday, October 31, 2015
MONCTON, N.B. -- Convicted cop killer Justin Bourque plans to appeal his life sentence with a new lawyer.

Joelle Roy, a lawyer with the criminal law firm Gagne & Roy in Saint-Jerome, Que., confirmed Saturday she is now representing Bourque and is working on an appeal."

"This is a really big case ... and there's a lot to check," she said. "You don't do it in four months."

Bourque's sentence was the harshest Canada has seen since the last state-sanctioned executions in 1962.

It was the first time a 75-year sentence was given under a section of the Criminal Code that was amended in 2011. The amendment gives the judge the option of extending parole eligibility in the case of multiple murders.

Members of the law community have expressed concerns with Bourque's sentence in the past.

In March, Quebec lawyer Jean-Claude Hebert was critical of how Bourque's lawyer handled the case and said there are numerous possible grounds for an appeal."

Crown prosecutors have formally acknowledged that the sentence for a New Brunswick man who fatally shot three Mounties must be amended so he can apply for parole after serving 25 years.

Crown prosecutors have formally acknowledged that the sentence for a New Brunswick man who fatally shot three Mounties must be amended so he can apply for parole after serving 25 years.

Justin Bourque was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 75 years after he pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder after targeting RCMP officers in Moncton, N.B., on the night of June 4, 2014.

Bourque's lawyer applied in December to the New Brunswick Court of Appeal to have the precedent-setting sentence reduced after the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the law that made it possible for judges to extend parole ineligibility periods beyond 25 years for people convicted of multiple murders.
