R v JA, 2017 ONSC 525 (CanLII), par O'Marra J	ON	SC	10 ans d'emprisonnement	"J.A. was found guilty by a jury of the second degree murder of his six-year-old daughter and the attempted murder of his seven-year-old son. Following the dissolution of his marriage, J.A. was suicidal. He attended at the school of the two victims, telling officials the children had medical appointments to attend. That was not true. He picked up some alcohol and sleeping medication before attending at a hotel. He gave each child some sleeping medication and sparkling wine. Eventually, the police were alerted when the two children did not return from school. When the police arrived at the hotel room, one child was unconscious (and eventually died). The other was drowsy. The cause of death was the combined toxicity of the sleep medication combined with alcohol. On the count of murder, J.A. was imprisoned for life with parole eligibility set at 18 years. He was given a concurrent sentence of 10 years for attempted murder." [1] Trouver des résumés de cas.
R v Kormendy, 2017 ONSC 6426 (CanLII), par Bondy J	ON	SC	20 ans d'emprisonnement (global)	"Mr. Kormendy was convicted of, amongst other things, three counts of attempted murder by arson. Mr. Kormendy was in a romantic relationship with one of the victims. They were living together in Windsor, Ontario with her three children. Two of the children were also victims in the arson, a seven-year-old daughter and a one-year-old-daughter. The third escaped the consequences of the arson because she was not home at the time. The fire was started because the victim had asked Mr. Kormendy to leave the home. He poured gasoline around the room and on the outside of the door where she was sleeping with her 7-year-old daughter. He also poured gasoline on the beds. By pouring gasoline around the door, Mr. Kormendy essentially trapped the two victims in the room by fire. Despite the screams of his victims after the fire started and the rooms being engulfed in flames, Mr. Kormendy did nothing to help his victims. During the sentencing proceeding, Mr. Kormendy demonstrated little insight into his behaviour." [2] The Court of Appeal increased the sentence from 11 years to 20 years. Trouver des résumés de cas.
R v Simard, 2017 ONCA 690 (CanLII), par curiam	ON	CA	20 ans d'emprisonnement	"the offender pleaded guilty to attempted murder, unlawful confinement, uttering death threats and assaulting a police officer in the execution of her duty. He advanced a defence of not criminally responsible, which was not accepted. He was a caregiver at a facility for developmentally-challenged people. The complainant was a resident. The complainant was severely autistic and non-verbal. The offender took the complainant into the woods near the facility and severely beat him. When a co-worker asked what happened he threatened to kill her. He later stated: “I tried to kill a retard because he was a drain on society, I took him into the bushes and beat the fuck out of him. I thought he was dead.” The Court of Appeal noted it was a “savage and brutal attack on a defenceless and vulnerable complainant.” The Court, characterizing the attempted murder as a callous and egregious breach of trust, upheld a sentence of twenty years."

He was given a 15-year sentence. He appealed. At the time of the offences, Mr. Tan was 34 years of age and unemployed. The victim was a university student. They knew each other through a mutual friend. After moving the victim from her apartment and while in the car, Mr. Tan suggested that the victim break up with her boyfriend. When she declined to do so, Mr. Tan became enraged. Eventually, he bound and gagged her. He made her lie down in the car and brandished a knife. He collected a tarp and some clothing. He drove three hours to a friend’s cottage in Bancroft, Ontario where he sexually assaulted her. He put her in a chokehold and told her that he was going to kill her. He slit her throat and stabbed her, causing a collapsed lung. He asked the victim about her bank accounts and obtained her PIN number. He took her identification documents, including her passport. He covered her with the tarp and she lost consciousness. He dragged her 40 feet into the bush, covered her with dirt, leaves and the tarp. He left her to die but she did not. Eventually, the victim struggled to the main road where she was assisted. Her injuries, both physical and psychological, were devastating and permanent. The sentence of 15 years was upheld by the Court of Appeal." The Court of Appeal "held that a 15-year sentence for a first offender who entered a guilty plea and expresses remorse was high. However, it held that the sentence was justified for a number of reasons, including: the domestic context of the offence, the specific intent to kill, the elements of planning and deliberation, the length of the attack, the concealing of the body and identity of the victim, the fact that the victim was left to die and the serious physical and psychological injuries on the victim."

Prior to the collision he had approached her with a metal bar, but she managed to get into her car and drive away. The offender was 53, had no criminal record, and had been employed steadily throughout his life. The trial judge sentenced him to two years less a day and two years of probation in light of 14 months of pre-sentence custody. The trial judge stated that it was the equivalent of a four-year sentence. The Crown appealed on the basis that the sentence was manifestly unfit. The Court of Appeal found that in cases of attempted murder, the principles of denunciation and deterrence are paramount. The Court would have substituted a sentence of six years but chose not to re-incarcerate the offender and instead varied the period of probation to three years."
