Killer of Community Activist Gets Life Sentence


     This is a quick follow-up to a story I talked about back in February regarding Kenneth Mark, a soft-spoken man who was executed after speaking out against gun violence in his Toronto neighbourhood. For the full details of that story click here.

    Today it was announced that Lamar Skeete, the man found guilty of first-degree murder, has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. The story was broadcast on News Talk 1010 and carried in full here. I hope that Mark's family can rest a little easier knowing that justice was done and Mark's heroics had a positive impact on the community.
