魁北克省法院对一名对2023年日托公交车撞车事件不负刑事责任的男子能否被贴上高风险罪犯的标签进行权衡。
A Quebec court weighs whether a man not criminally responsible for a 2023 daycare bus crash can be labeled a high-risk offender.
Pierre Ny St-Amand的律师于2023年将一辆公共汽车撞入魁北克日托中心,杀死两名儿童。 他们辩称,将他贴上高风险罪犯标签将违反《加拿大宪章》,声称这一称谓错误地认为他是不可挽回的,污蔑精神病患者。
Lawyers for Pierre Ny St-Amand, who crashed a bus into a Quebec daycare in 2023, killing two children, argue that labeling him a high-risk offender would violate the Canadian Charter, claiming the designation wrongly assumes he is irredeemable and stigmatizes mentally ill individuals.
此案提交魁北克高等法院审理,2025年4月,Ny St-Amand因精神失常被认定不承担刑事责任。
The case is before Quebec Superior Court, where Ny St-Amand was found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder in April 2025.
王国政府寻求高风险地位,对精神病院施加更严格的条件,但他的辩护人认为,通常为负有刑事责任的个人贴的标签,如果适用于不负刑事责任的人,则不符合宪法。
The Crown seeks the high-risk status to impose stricter conditions at a psychiatric facility, but his defense contends the label, typically for criminally responsible individuals, is unconstitutional when applied to those not criminally liable.
法院正在权衡这种指定是否可在这一背景下合法适用。
