The man convicted as a young offender of three counts of dangerous driving causing death is going back to jail, this time for driving while disqualified.
The 21-year-old, who was previously convicted under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was sentenced to one year in jail in a Regina court Friday, plus 18 months probation which bars him from registering or possessing or even being in the driver's seat of any vehicle.
He had been arrested last fall in Saskatoon and accused of driving while disqualified, and was also arrested around the same time for a similar charge in Regina. His case was brought before the courts in February.
In May the accused pleaded guilty to two counts of driving while disqualified and two breach counts.
The accused had been under a 10-year driving prohibition imposed as part of his sentence. He had been convicted and sentenced to two years following the collision on Highway 4 north of North Battleford that claimed the lives of three teenagers: Andrea Hutchinson, Stephanie Parkinson and Meagan Weir. The crash happened in June 2005.
The individual has tried to get around the driving prohibition by changing his name to apply for a learners' license from SGI - a license that was later revoked. He had also been charged with driving while disqualified in Alberta while awaiting trial.
