TORONTO, Jan 4 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition of Ontario and Campaign Life Coalition have urged pro-lifers to contact Attorney-General Jim Flaherty to ask him to initiate a review of the conditional sentence given to Lisa Thompson by Mr. Justice Paul Forestell. In late November, Forestell sentenced Thompson, 38, to only a two-year conditional sentence to be served at home for attempting to murder her disabled 6-year-old daughter, Brandy. On November 8, 1998, Thompson tried to kill her daughter by administering a lethal dose of drugs through her feeding tube. After checking to assure that Brandy no longer had a pulse, Thompson turned herself in to the police.
The pro-life groups note that copies of the letter should be sent to Premier Mike Harris, and Murray Segal Director of Criminal Prosecutions.
