Anger grips B.C. courtroom after man found not responsible in 2016 slashing death
Nearly seven years after the death of Derek Descoteau in Chemainus, the man who previously pled guilty to killing him has been found not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder.
“We’re really upset,” said Descoteau’s mother Brenda Smith. “This is not the outcome we wanted. Today, we wanted justice.” The Descoteaus and Guyatts issued a prepared statement in the eventuality John would be found not criminally responsible. It was a bitter pill for them to swallow.
