An appeal has been denied to extend the sentence of an Ontario trucker who killed a woman in his Edmonton hotel room in 2011.
Bradley Barton was sentenced to 12.5 years for manslaughter in 2021 in the death of Cindy Gladue, 36, after a lengthy court process.
The Crown appealed that sentence, calling it "demonstrably unfit."
That appeal was denied by the Court of Appeal of Alberta, according to documents filed Friday.
"No sentence imposed will adequately address the pain inflicted on Ms. Gladue's family and community," the panel judges wrote.
"With the disposition of this appeal we hope that some measure of peace and healing can begin."
