Killer gangster must do 25 years: Crown - Winnipeg Free Press: "Jeffrey Cansanay was convicted last month of second-degree murder, which carries a mandatory life sentence with no parole eligibility for at least 10 years. But the Crown wants Justice Shawn Greenberg to order Cansanay to spend at least 25 years behind bars -- the same punishment a person convicted of first-degree murder would face and the most severe sentence in the Criminal Code. 'This was not a spur-of-the-moment shooting. He was prepared to shoot rivals on sight,' prosecutor Gerry Bowering told court.
Cansanay, 23, was convicted for his role in the October 2005 killing of Phil Haiart. Haiart, 17, was walking in the West End when he was caught in the crossfire. Defence lawyer Greg Brodsky argued there is no reason to depart from the minimum parole eligibility because his client had no intention of killing Haiart."
