A southern Alberta man has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years, less time served, in connection with a fatal attack on Linden Grier more than three years ago.
Cullen Tailfeathers, a member of Alberta's Kainai Nation, was found guilty of manslaughter on May 2, 2024.
"In these texts, Mr. Tailfeathers very clearly communicated his plans. He was coming to the home of Ms. English to confront and fight Mr. Grier," she wrote. Once Grier was on the floor, Ailsby said Tailfeathers stopped hitting him, going back to the main room to smash Grier's phone. This done, he left the home.Following the attack, Tailfeathers sent a number of texts to English, trying to place the blame of the attack on her for her previous actions the day before.
At sentencing, the Crown argued for a seven to eight-year sentence while Tailfeathers' counsel submitted a three to four-year sentence. Linden Grier, 33, died on May 24, 2021, of blunt force trauma he sustained during a fight with Cullen Tailfeathers. "I have every confidence that his skills, disposition and education will serve other Indigenous persons in custody very well, and I want him, if he wants this for himself, to have a positive influence on the capacity of other offenders to realise rehabilitation."
