Forcillo Lawyer Argues Mandatory Minimum ‘Overbroad’
A lawyer for a Toronto police officer found guilty of attempted murder in the shooting death of a troubled teen is arguing that a mandatory minimum sentence of five years behind bars is “overbroad” and too harsh for someone like his client.
Const. James Forcillo’s lawyer is making his arguments at a sentencing hearing for the officer, asking that the court find the mandatory minimum term unconstitutional.
