The Crown prosecution in the trial of Levi Cayen is asking for a 10-year sentence for robbery, and a 15-year sentence for the killing of Alexander Norwegian.
Crown prosecutor Duane Praught asked Justice Shannon Smallwood to hand down the sentence during the second day of sentencing on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear if the Crown was asking for the sentences to be served consecutively or simultaneously.
In arguing for the sentence, Praught said Cayen was guilty of SA国际影视传媒渢he highest level of culpability,SA国际影视传媒 for manslaughter, since, he argued, Cayen knew his actions could result in NorwegianSA国际影视传媒檚 death.
He pointed out that Cayen and his co-conspirators had brought weapons with them.
SA国际影视传媒淰iolence was not only contemplated, but anticipated, if not expected,SA国际影视传媒 he said.
Cayen is the last of four offenders to be sentenced for the beating, robbery and killing of 25 year-old Norwegian. The victim succumbed to hypothermia after being abandoned by his attackers.
Also on Tuesday, Smallwood ruled that records showing Cayen had been found guilty of certain infractions while in custody were admissible as evidence. The Crown is asking Cayen not be given credit for time already served due to these infractions.
Hearings are expected to continue Wednesday afternoon.

The Crown, on Tuesday, entered into the record more than one dozen impact statements written by those who were close to Norwegian, who was found dead in his car on the KatlSA国际影视传媒檕deeche First Nation in December 2017. Praught read many of those statements aloud.

Both the victimSA国际影视传媒檚 grandmother, Elsie Bouvier, and aunt, Barbi Bouvier, argued in their statements that justice had not been served when the verdicts were delivered to the perpetrators. The jury found Cayen guilty of manslaughter rather than the original charge of first-degree murder in March.
