The mother of a toddler whose lifeless body was found outside an Edmonton church says she doesn't think she'll ever forgive the people responsible for her son's death.
The mother of a toddler whose lifeless body was found outside an Edmonton church three years ago says she doesn't think she'll ever forgive the people responsible for her son's death.
Dalyce Raine's victim impact statement was read at a sentencing hearing Monday for Tasha-Lee Doreen Mack, who has been convicted of manslaughter.
The child's father, Joey Crier, has also been found guilty of manslaughter.
Anthony Joseph Raine was 19 months old when he was found dead outside the Good Shepherd Anglican Church in April 2017.
Anthony died of blunt force trauma to the head. His body was covered in bruises when it was discovered behind the north Edmonton church three days after it had been placed there.
Dalyce Raine said in her statement that she thought her son was in good care with his father and she questioned why Crier didn't bring Anthony back to her.
Crier and Mack were caring for the boy for about six weeks leading up to his death.
In a long, tearful rant to @QB_Alberta Justice Robert Graesser before she's sentenced, Tasha Mack says, ““I understand what I did. I know it was wrong. I can swear on my life that it will never happen again.” #CBC #yeg pic.twitter.com/cZ1zL0psU9
Crown prosecutor Monica Sabo is seeking a prison sentence of 10 to 12 years.
Defence lawyer Ajay Juneja is asking for a six-year sentence, with credit for time served.
A sentencing decision is expected later Monday.
- Crown drops appeal of Tasha Mack manslaughter conviction
- Edmonton woman guilty of manslaughter in death of toddler Anthony Raine
Crier has not yet been sentenced, but a judge has said he will reduce Crier's overall sentence because he has been assaulted in jail and spends much of his time in segregated custody
Both Mack and Crier were initially charged with second-degree murder.
