Crown requests 10-year sentence for Kyla LaPointe's killer

Dylan Alexander Jackson, 30, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for the stabbing death of Kyla LaPointe in Moncton in July 2023. The Crown is seeking a 10-year prison sentence, which may be reduced by 2.5 years for time served. During the sentencing hearing, LaPointe's family expressed their grief and anger. They described her as a loving mother and advocate, while also recalling the pain of losing her sister in 2015. Jackson admitted to struggling with drug addiction and expressed remorse in court. The judge will announce the sentencing decision on Thursday.
