MONTREAL — Anthony Alfieri pretty much broke all the rules of the road on February 21, 2010.
That night, he drank alcohol, smoked marijuana, and then stepped into a car and drove recklessly on De La Concorde Boulevard in Laval before slamming into a street light.
After the crash, he crawled out of his vehicle and left the scene.
His two passengers later died in hospital.
Earlier this week, a judge in Laval handed Alfieri a 3 year, 10 month prison sentence.
MADD Canada’s Theresa-Anne Kramer says it’s simply not enough.
“I’m very very distressed by that type of sentencing, ” Kramer told Global News.
“It’s the run-of-the-mill sentence but it’s not a run-of-the-mill crime.”
Alfieri was convicted of four charges; two counts of criminal negligence causing death and two counts of leaving the scene of an accident.
By law, Alfieri could have faced a maximum life sentence for his crimes.
23-year-old Corinne Gauthier-Giambona and 22-year-old Leonardo Facchino were killed in the crash.
“It’s a joke, it’s a joke,” says Suzanne Gauthier, the mother of the female victim.
The mother of Leonardo Facchino, Micheline Boisvert, says she will never be able to forgive Anthony Alfieri.
“I don’t want to forgive him, I can’t forgive him,” says Boisvert.
Upon his release from prison, Alfieri will be have to respect two conditions.
He is forbidden from driving a vehicle for 6 years, and owning any weapons for 10 years.
