Kristoffer Del Campo, 33, was sentenced to 6 years imprisonment after pleading guilty in the August 2013 killing of his girlfriend, Lacey Manion, whom he ran over with his Camaro.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne bad decision has changed their lives forever\u2026 No sentence, nothing can undo what has been done. All we can do is say to Mr. Del Campo that his conduct is unacceptable in a civilized society,\u201d Justice Sal LoVecchio said in a CBC News report.<\/p>\n

Del Ocampo faced a manslaughter charge which has been changed to a second-degree murder charge. The original charge was imposed upon him after evidences were gathered and studied.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re looking at second degree and life in jail with a minimum of ten years before parole eligibility\u2026 He wanted to take responsibility, but for what he did which was a manslaughter and that\u2019s how it was resolved today,\u201d defense lawyer Adriano Iovinelli said in a Global News report.<\/p>\n

Although welcoming the Calgary court\u2019s ruling and believing that justice has been served, Manion\u2019s camp wanted Del Ocampo to serve a longer sentence in jail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe damage that this kind of a crime does to a family \u2013 it tears a family apart\u2026 Our family needs some closure and I just wanted that person that took my daughter\u2019s life to know how we all felt,\u201d Yvonne Denomay, the victim\u2019s mother, told the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cLacey had the most beautiful smile and she was just this fun-loving, happy person,\u201d Denomay said, stressing that she could not yet accept any apology.<\/p>\n

Del Ocampo will be deported back to the Philippines after serving his sentence. He has also faced multiple charges on identity theft and the fraudulent use of credit cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
