Brendon Menard Apologizes For Slaying Father


 According to the Times Colonist, Brandon Menard apologized for killing his father and took full responsibility for the event. He also expressed remorse for the pain and agony he has caused his family.

The younger Menard apparently has suffered from seizures ever since an auto accident which caused brain trauma. Court heard evidence that on the day of the killing he seemed like a robot and did not seem aware of the events which led to the death of his father, Tony Menard.

Testimony revealed that the older Menard walked across the firing line to set up cans and bottles for target practice when Brandon raised a semiautomatic 22 calibre rifle, aimed through the scope and shot his father five times.

Other members of the party rushed to the aid of the fallen Menard and attempts at CPR failed to revive the victim.

The prosecution is seeking three to five years imprisonment while Menard's lawyers are asking for a suspended sentence and a period of probation. The judge will render a decision on Oct. 22. The shooting happened on July 4, 2010.
