The Court ruled that Latimer serve a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years before parole eligibility. Can this sentence be justified? 2. What, if any, mitigating factors should be considered in the sentencing of Latimer? 3. Would a decision favourable to Latimer put the disabled in danger? Would it legalize euthanasia?
