I think Mr. Derosier is very relieved
that there's no more court process.
He can just focus on an end date and move on.
He is a gentleman.
He's an individual
who has suffered a great loss with the murder of his son
at the hands of someone who provoked him
and challenged him and threatened him.
So his reaction to that is what resulted in these charges.
But otherwise, other than those few minutes,
he's conducted himself impeccably.
I think it's very important to stress from the Crown's perspective,
this was not, from our perspective,
something we could have proven as an act of vigilantism.
Obviously, from the Crown, we can't in any way condone an individual
who suffered the loss that Mr. Derosier had of his son
taking actions or taking matters into his own hands.
So, as I said, I think it was very important to stress that this,
while it was quite clearly an intentional and deliberate act,
it was not motivated.
The evidence was quite clear that wasn't the reason why Mr. Derosier
had followed the victim to the parking lot on that particular day.
Given the very rapid, rather short duration between the end
of a second conversation and the actual driving actions of Mr. Derosier,
it was quite obvious that he didn't take
the time to contemplate his actions.
