The man awaiting trial for the 2014 was sentenced Wednesday to nine months in prison for unrelated charges.
Stephen Pirko pleaded guilty to two counts of break and enter and another charge of possession of stolen property.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 sorry for my actions,香蕉视频直播 Pirko told the court via the video feed from the Okanagan Correction Centre, where he香蕉视频直播檚 been held since his November 2016 arrest.
香蕉视频直播淚 wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 have done these things if I wasn香蕉视频直播檛 addicted to heroin 香蕉视频直播 I香蕉视频直播檓 trying to make the best of a crappy situation.香蕉视频直播
The 香蕉视频直播渂est香蕉视频直播 explained his lawyer means taking advantage of the detox and addiction programs available in prison. Pirko香蕉视频直播檚 been sober for seven months.
Before that, however, he was in the the throes of his addiction. Pirko, said his lawyer, lived with his mother at the time of break-ins. She has 香蕉视频直播渟ignificant health issues香蕉视频直播 and supports herself through government disability subsidies. He has never had a relationship with his father and has a Grade 11 education.
香蕉视频直播淭he most serious issue for him is he香蕉视频直播檚 a heroin addict,香蕉视频直播 said his lawyer.
Crown and defence agreed that a nine-month sentence in this case would be appropriate. No probation was suggested as neither anticipated he香蕉视频直播檇 香蕉视频直播渂e getting out of custody soon.香蕉视频直播
Judge Vincent Hogan agreed to the sentence香蕉视频直播攗ltimately handing down three nine-month sentences to be served concurrently香蕉视频直播 but kicked in some sharp words aimed at getting Pirko to shape up.
香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 this bizarre idea floating around in the public that judges are not victims of crime and they take an ivory tower approach to crime,香蕉视频直播 he said.
That, he said, is not the case. He香蕉视频直播檚 had his house and motorhome looted, and every one of his children香蕉视频直播檚 bikes stolen at some point.
香蕉视频直播淚, like other people, get sentimentally attached to my property so I understand what people go through when they get looted,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淭hey don香蕉视频直播檛 say I hope it香蕉视频直播檚 a nice young man who香蕉视频直播檚 a heroin addict that does it.香蕉视频直播
On the contrary, he said, victims of crime want to form a 14th Century mob and deal with the crook in the least civilized means available 香蕉视频直播 but the law stops them from doing so.
香蕉视频直播淚 want you to find a half decent way to find a good life 香蕉视频直播. Please, son, you香蕉视频直播檙e 24 years old. Turn this mess around because we want you to do well.香蕉视频直播
Pirko will be in court for a on the charge of second degree murder in January 2018.
Chris Ausman香蕉视频直播檚 body was in the 100 block of Highway 33 Jan. 25, 2014.
Ausman, who worked at Ace Plumbing and Heating, was known to friends as an all-round decent guy.
On the night of his death he had reportedly been playing poker with friends. It was surmised he香蕉视频直播檇 likely been at the Rutland 7-11 and ran into someone with ill intent. The case had seemingly run cold, until November 2016 when Pirko was arrested and charged.
