Judge mulls community term for man convicted in vicious brawl
By JACKI LEROUX, Ottawa Sun
A 43-year-old Native man who pleaded guilty in a vicious rooming house
brawl two years ago is hoping to serve his jail sentence in the community
after getting help with his alcoholism at a Cree lodge. The sentencing
yesterday of Johnny Metatawabin was adjourned
until next week to give a judge time to consider a joint
recommendation that the reformed alcoholic receive a conditional
sentence. Metatawabin and another man, Albert Maloney, 50, were initially
accused of trying to kill Roy Jones after a fight broke out at a Nelson St.
rooming house in January 1997. Both men pleaded guilty to the reduced
charge of aggravated assault. Maloney was handed an 18-month jail sentence.
Defence lawyer Franco Giamberardino explained that Metatawabin turned to
his own Cree people for help with his drug and alcohol problems and has
been receiving counselling for anger management. "He was clearly on a path
to some kind of destruction," Giamberardino said of his client.
"Something's happened to this man. He's found something.I'm not going to
try to belittle the charges, but serving his sentence in the community
would not endanger the safety of the community."
