Tait Sentenced for Crane Murder: Gladue Factors & Colonialism Considered

Jason Leo Tait, a member of Swan Lake First Nations, was sentenced for his role in the murder of Keenan Crane. Despite being acquitted of manslaughter, Tait was found guilty as an accessory after the fact. The judge, Justice Janice Ashcroft, considered Taits Indigenous background and the impact of colonialism on his life. However, she also criticized Taits lack of remorse and his attempts to exploit the Gladue principles. Taits actions, including cleaning up the crime scene and intimidating witnesses, were seen as aggravating factors. The judge sentenced Tait to four to eight years in prison, a sentence that reflects the severity of his actions while also considering his background.
