The Quebec Court of Appeal decided on Friday that Emma Czornobaj may drive a car and will not be required to start serving her prison sentence until the challenge of her criminal negligence case is heard.
The Quebec Court of Appeal announced that Czornobaj will appeal her sentence — which includes a 90-day jail term to be served on weekends, and a 10-year ban from holding a drivers’ licence.
She was to begin that jail sentence this weekend.
Cznornobaj, now 26 years old, was convicted last fall of dangerous driving causing death, and criminal negligence causing death, in a case dating back to June 27, 2010. That evening, she stopped in the middle of busy highway 30 in Candiac for a family of ducks. 50-year-old André Roy was riding behind on a motorcycle with his 16-year-old daughter Jesse.
They both died when they rear-ended Czornobaj’s idle vehicle at a speed of more than 110 kilometres an hour.
