So I was reading the story on CBC, and came across this passage, about the sentence (house arrest, community service, 200,000$ fine).
“Rouleau said Duhaime wasn’t considered to be one of the key actors in the bribery scandal, and those who are questioning the severity of the sentence should look at it from Duhaime’s perspective.
“I don’t believe he’s walking out of here laughing and thinking that this is a good day for him. I think quite the contrary.” ”
On first read, I assumed that Rouleau was the defence lawyer. Nope, he was the spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office. Sigh.
OK I get this , he approved a $22 million dollar bribe. He stays home (a million plus home) for 20 months and watches TV, thats what I do now. I didn’t know that was a sentence. I guess I’ll have more street cred now…cool.

But just to one count of “breach of trust”. The fraud, conspiracy, and forgery charges were all withdrawn.
