Jail term sought for driving, stolen-car crimes
Seth Peterson Solomon, 24, of Bilijk First Nation, released pending sentencing decision
A Bilijk (Kingsclear) First Nation man awaiting a sentencing decision on a variety of crimes from two years ago and earlier this year was released on an ankle-monitor Monday.
Seth Peterson Solomon, 24, of Porcupine Court, appeared in Fredericton provincial court in custody and in person Monday, scheduled for sentencing for a variety of crimes.
However, Judge Mélanie Poirier LeBlanc noted there was an issue with the case. She noticed in her files that one of the victims - Hailey Dennis - hadn’t been contacted to see if she wanted to submit a victim-impact statement.
The judge decided that instead of adjourning the whole sentencing hearing, she’d hear the facts and reserve her decision until after Dennis was given the opportunity to provide her input.
