A BC man convicted of two counts of criminal negligence causing death has lost an appeal of the indeterminate sentence he received after being declared a dangerous offender.
Martin Tremblay was convicted for the March 2010 deaths of two teenagers who were plied with alcohol and drugs before being sexually assaulted in Tremblay's Richmond home.
His trial heard he invited 16 year old Kayla Lalonde and 17 year old Martha Jackson to his home, gave them drugs and alcohol until they passed out, sexually assaulted them and then failed to get help when their conditions deteriorated.
The BC Court of Appeal decision released today says the trial judge made no errors and reached a reasonable decision about Tremblay's risk assessment and treatment prospects.
Tremblay, who is now 55 years old, didn't challenge his dangerous offender status but wanted his indeterminate sentence replaced by a fixed term of 20 years in prison plus a 10 year, long-term supervision order, a request three Court of Appeal justices have unanimously rejected.
