Shane Marshall was handed a 90-day conditional sentence and one year of probation at his sentencing in London, Ont.
LONDON, Ont. — An Ontario man who threw gravel at Justin Trudeau during an election campaign rally was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest on Monday, with a judge denouncing the 2021 assault as an "expression of mob mentality."
"This was not an expression of political beliefs. It was a manifestation of mob mentality, which if left unchecked allows anarchy to prevail," McHugh said as he issued Marshall's sentence. "His goal now is to find a way to deal with his emotion, through counselling and to make sure this never happens again," Reidy said outside the London courthouse.
Court heard Marshall was an out-of-work plumber with no criminal record who was living with his mother. He declined to answer questions from reporters as he left the courthouse Monday. McHugh also cited pie-throwing cases targeting former prime minister Jean Chretien and former Alberta premier Ralph Klein. The man who pied Chretien in 2000 during an event in Charlottetown was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but later only served eight days in custody after appealing his sentence, McHugh said.
