Setting up photos of her late husband and the children he left behind, LeeEllen Carroll had one message for Christy Natsis.
“You killed a human being,” she said, staring across the Pembroke courtroom Wednesday at the dentist convicted of drunk driving in the death of Bryan Casey on the Trans-Canada Highway near Arnprior on March 31, 2011.
It was one of many intense and emotional moments as Justice Neil Kozloff heard a second day of lawyer’s submissions and victim statements. He will passes sentence on Natsis, 50, in Ottawa on Nov. 12.
Another came as Natsis herself addressed the court for the first time in the four-year proceedings.
“I am so deeply sorry,” she said in a weak, shaky voice, facing the judge with her back to the rest of the room.
She said she is haunted every day by Caroll’s account of the pain Casey’s death has wrought on her, their three children and their extended family.
“I know my anguish and remorse pales in comparison to what the Casey family has to endure,” she said, promising the court that whatever happens to her, she intends to live the rest of her days with “more care, compassion, prudence and good judgment.”
The Crown attorney has asked Kozloff to send Christy to penitentiary for six to eight years. Christy’s lawyers have asked for a sentence of 3½ to four years.
