Brenda Boutrous pleaded guilty to Dangerous Operation Causing Death after a collision where she was speeding at 151 km/hr, striking another vehicle and causing the death of Dennis Malone.
The court considered the victim's U-turn as a factual contributor but found Boutrous's excessive speed to be the significant cause.
The sentencing decision balanced denunciation, deterrence, and rehabilitation, considering Boutrous's youth, guilty plea, lack of prior record, and profound remorse.
The court imposed a conditional sentence of two years less a day, followed by probation and a driving prohibition.
