John Carpay argues Supreme Court case shows racial sentencing is absurd
Original: John Carpay: Supreme Court case on Indigenous domestic violence proves racial sentencing is absurd
Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms lawyer John Carpay is arguing that a Supreme Court of Canada case involving an Indigenous offender convicted of domestic violence demonstrates the absurdity of race-based sentencing. He contends that giving lighter sentences based on Indigenous identity, under Gladue principles, undermines equal treatment before the law and fails victims of violence.
Why now: A Supreme Court ruling on Indigenous sentencing considerations is expected to reignite debate over racial factors in criminal sentencing in Canada.
