146 Words1 Page

    Summary: First off I would like to thank everyone who sends their worries for Elizabeth Key’s sons. After playing the role of Key, I understand why she left a mark in history. It is not only the fact that Key was the first black slave to gain her freedom or the fact that she’s a woman and married to an Englishman, but her strong spirit and unwillingness to give into the faith the whites have planted for her.

    The case prosecuted under the court of Appeal of Ontario, Her Majesty the Queen v Danny Lalumiere, in 2011, was intended to appeal the conviction of counseling to commit murder. The appellant argued that the life sentence was not appropriate and was outside the range of sentences imposed on similar offenders for similar offenses. This is an example of a case where legal guilt was used to provide a conviction. The conviction of the appellant was based on the testimony of a psychiatrist doctor, Dr. Pallandi, who provided a profile of the accused and concluded that the appellant was pathologically predisposed to commit an offense. The appellate court ruled against the Crown’s decision at the trial, stating that the appellant lacked moral culpability for his offenses and therefore the sentence was not deserved.
