Man Charged In Slaying Of Spouse At Long-Term Care Facility To Seek Bail: Lawyer

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Mar, 2017 11:54 AM

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.
