The man who received four months in jail after he drove his car through a restaurant patio and killed a toddler has filed an appeal of his "excessive" sentence.
On Dec. 17, Richard Suter was sentenced for refusing to provide a breath sample in the hours after the May 2013 incident that killed two-year-old Geo Mounsef. In addition to his jail sentence, Suter was suspended from driving for 30 months.
In his notice of appeal, the 65-year-old Suter asked the Court of Appeal of Alberta to reduce his sentence to a $2,000 fine, probation and a one-year driving suspension.
Provincial court Judge Larry Anderson concluded Suter was not impaired when he stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake while arguing with his wife. Suter's SUV lurched through a glass-walled patio at Ric's Grill in south Edmonton and slammed into the table where Geo was eating with his parents and five-month-old brother.

Canadian lives don’t matter.
Guy is incapable of taking personal responsibility.
Reminds me of Obama.
It’s Canada. The judge will reduce the sentence and send a card of apology.
Had he run down my kid, he never would have made it to trial.
A$$hole.
You are not alone.
Four months for killing a little kid is a joke.
What the f*ck is wrong with this country?
What’s a matter father didn’t have a gun? The moron wouldn’t have had to suffer in jail at all if it was my baby he killed!
I’d make damn sure that he understood that jail would be the only safe place for him.
Imagine such a sentence if he had misused a gun instead of a car.
Sounds like Texas’ affluenza teen.
It’s not this country.
Ours is pretty jacked up, tho.
STRAP HIM INTO A STROLLER AND ALLOW ONE OF THE PARENTS TO RUN A CAR INTO HIM
“Provincial court Judge Larry Anderson concluded Suter was not impaired...”
Well if the Judge said his fellow Progressive was not impaired, who are we to question the judgement of someone who advises God on a regular basis?
Alrighty then. Let’s get started.
if he wasn’t impaired, try him for murder instead of manslaughter.
Ask Ted Cruz, he was born there

I have two year old and four month old grandkids right now. I’d have been homicidal after something like this.
