Robin Erskine was convicted of impaired and dangerous driving causing death. A Calgary judge offered words of encouragement to a man heading to prison following a conviction for impaired driving that caused the death of a pedestrian.
At a sentencing hearing last month, Muise's father delivered a victim impact statement, telling Erskine, "My family forgives you." "I hope knowing you've been forgiven unconditionally will motivate you to forgive yourself," said Molle, who encouraged Erskine to "take steps toward healing."At the time, he had a newly diagnosed condition caused by long-term alcohol abuse.
He failed to negotiate a curve in the road, crossed two lanes of traffic and drove up onto a grassy area, striking and killing Muise.Molle ruled that Erskine was guilty of the two charges because "a reasonable person would have foreseen the risk of a collision in Mr. Erskine's circumstances."
