MONTREAL — The lawyer for a Montreal man charged with killing his wife at a long-term care facility says she intends to seek bail for her client.
Elfriede-Andree Duclervil says Michel Cadotte doesn't represent a risk to society and that some people see his alleged actions as driven by compassion.
Cadotte, 55, appeared briefly in a Montreal courtroom today as Duclervil asked for more time to prepare the case.
Cadotte was charged with second-degree murder in February, a day after Jocelyne Lizotte, 60, was discovered in cardiac arrest.
On the day of the death, he wrote on Facebook he'd "cracked,'' consented to a request for assisted death and was awaiting police officers.
The case is scheduled to return to court April 18.
