The man who was on the bridge when the Queen of the North crashed into Gill Island will serve time in a federal prison.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein has sentenced Karl Lilgert to four years in jail after he was convicted of criminal negligence causing death.
The judge concluded that Lilgert's relationship with quartermaster Karen Briker played a role in the accident, which led to the disappearance and presumed death of passengers Gerald Foisy and Shirley Rosette in 2006.
The Crown sought a six-year sentence, whereas defence lawyer Glen Orris asked for a conditional sentence of two years less a day, which Ligert could serve at home.

Yes And No, He Should Not Have Gotten All The Blame. They Should Have Charged His Lover { Girlfriend }Too, As They Were Both Accountable For The Queen Of The North's Sinking.
