Jean-Luc Perignon was acquitted after arguing he should not be convicted because he was too impaired by booze and pills.
Posted: Feb. 2, 2023 12:20PMOriginal Story posted by The Canadian Press
In his decision, Justice Warren Milman outlines Perignon’s difficulties with extreme pain from two separate motor vehicle accidents, leading to an opioid prescription described in the judgment as “dangerously high” and above a level that would be “fatal for someone naive to opioids.” In finding Perignon not guilty, Milman rejects Crown arguments that Perignon understood his actions by admitting immediately after the stabbing that he had “just done something really stupid,” instead writing “the more likely explanation for his conduct is that it was entirely involuntary because it occurred while he was effectively asleep.”
