More daddy coddling at its finest. UNNAMED DAD, despite all the fuss about mental illness, fits the classic mold of a (would-be) revenge killer. He was all pissed that Mummy didn't love his abusive, manipulative @$$ anymore. He slashed his infant son with a butcher knife, then made a Daddy Drama call to the poice saying he wanted the baby to die. Oh, and that Daddy wanted to die too, 'cause he really had the sads. A standoff ensues. Daddy, for all his sads, is shrewd enough to deliberately conceal that the baby is already seriously injured. Denied that the baby needed help. Blocked the police from getting to the baby.
It's a miracle this baby survived.
And yet we're supposed to go easy on this sh** BECAUSE--we're supposed to go easy on sicko daddies! We always do, you know. Check this out from the defense, as to why we have to indulge this dude:
Defence lawyer Alain Hepner had argued that the use of a knife should not elevate his client’s sentence by 1.5 years over a precedent case in which a young father got 3.5 years for immersing his baby daughter’s feet in scalding water.
WELL! We went easy on Boiling Water Daddy, so we need to go easy on Butcher Knive Daddy too! Got it. We need to go easy on all the f***ing creeps. Yup. Got it!

Five-year sentence upheld for dad who slashed baby
By Daryl Slade, Calgary Herald
July 16, 2013
The province’s top court has upheld a five-year prison sentence handed down to a father last summer for slashing his 11-month-old baby’s stomach and throat in a jealous rage to get back at the child’s mother.
Alberta Court of Appeal justices Jean Cote, Jack Watson and Brian O’Ferrall said in their unanimous written decision released Monday that the trial judge — provincial court Judge Mike Dinkel — had carefully considered 19 factors in arriving at the sentence.
They said the 33-year-old father, who cannot be named to protect the victim’s identity, “committed a cruel aggravated assault on his child.”
“This father intended the harm he caused,” wrote the court. “In one of his calls to 911 he said that the child was almost dead and he wanted them (the baby and him) to die.
“There was a brief standoff with police when they arrived and he deliberately concealed the child’s injuries with pyjamas.”
Court heard the father, originally charged with attempted murder, was looking after the child while the mother, from whom he had separated but had hoped to reconcile, was out with a friend.
“When the mother did not come home that night, the appellant went ballistic, grabbed a butcher’s knife, undid the child’s pyjamas and inflicted an eight-inch laceration to the child’s stomach and a six-inch cut from the front of the child’s throat to behind his head. And for a period of time he essentially left the child to bleed to death,” wrote the appellate court.
“Despite losing about one-quarter of his blood, the child survived, recovered and will be left with only some cosmetic scarring.”
Defence lawyer Alain Hepner had argued that the use of a knife should not elevate his client’s sentence by 1.5 years over a precedent case in which a young father got 3.5 years for immersing his baby daughter’s feet in scalding water.
“I ask that the court reduce the sentence to three and a half or even four years,” Hepner told justices Jack Watson, Jean Cote and Brian O’Ferrall. “He was going through a litany of psychological problems at the time. When police came, he made the comment: please shoot me ... he had cycled downward leading up to that day, losing his wife and his income.”
Crown prosecutor Jolaine Antonio argued for the sentence to be upheld, saying risk of death and full intention were key factors.
“This was about (the offender) wanting the two of them to die together. There was full awareness and likelihood of death ... he thought about it. There were an entire pattern of steps taken. (The offender) denied the child needed help when asked.”
Antonio also noted the man, who came to Canada from Sudan eight years ago, became involved in a standoff at his door when police came, preventing them from gaining access to the child.
Dinkel, in sentencing the man last year, said his remorse did not outweigh the “rage, jealousy and rejection” over his failed relationship with the boy’s mother that was behind the crime.
“I can only conclude the accused chose to act on his jealousy,” said Dinkel. “The accused used the attack on the child to inflict harm on the mother.”
Crown prosecutor Margot Engley had sought a six- to seven-year prison term after the guilty pleas.

Lawyer: Dad convicted of slashing 11-month-old son with butcher knife should have 5-year sentence reduced (Calgary, Canada)
Let me see if I have this straight. UNNAMED DAD got all pissy because he convinced himself--falsely--that Mom was cheating on him. So he slashes his infant son with a butcher knife and almost killed him. Not only that, but he blocked rescue personnel from reaching the baby. And only whined to 911 about himself--couldn't even pretend to have remorse for what he did. This, ladies and gentleman, is an @$$. And daddy coddling to the nth degree.

Calgary father who slashed baby seeks reduced prison term
BY DARYL SLADE, CALGARY HERALD APRIL 17, 2013 6:28 PM
A father who slashed his baby’s abdomen and neck with a butcher knife should have his five-year prison sentence reduced, his lawyer argued Wednesday at the Alberta Court of Appeal.
Alain Hepner told the province’s top court that the use of a knife should not elevate his client’s sentence by 1.5 years over a precedent case in which a young father got 3.5 years for immersing his baby daughter’s feet in scalding water.
“I ask that the court reduce the sentence to three and a half or even four years,” Hepner told justices Jack Watson, Jean Cote and Brian O’Ferrall. “He was going through a litany of psychological problems at the time.
“When police came, he made the comment: please shoot me . . . he had cycled downward leading up to that day, losing his wife and his income.”
Cote told Hepner, however, that his client had called 911 and as the boy was bleeding all he talked about was himself and his wife.
“He never had a moment when he said, ‘What have I done?’ It sounded for a while like he wanted the baby to die.”
Crown prosecutor Jolaine Antonio argued for the sentence to be upheld, saying risk of death and full intention were key factors.
“This was about (the offender) wanting the two of them to die together. There was full awareness and likelihood of death . . . he thought about it. There were an entire pattern of steps taken. (The offender) denied the child needed help when asked.”
Antonio also noted the 33-year-old man became involved in a standoff at his door when police came, preventing them from gaining access to the 11-month-old child, who lost more than one-quarter of his blood.
Provincial court Judge Mike Dinkel, in sentencing the man last year, said his remorse did not outweigh the “rage, jealousy and rejection” over his failed relationship with the boy’s mother that was behind the crime.
“I can only conclude the accused chose to act on his jealousy,” provincial court Judge Michael Dinkel said. “The accused used the attack on the child to inflict harm on the mother.”
The offender, who cannot be named in order to protect the identity of the victim, was originally charged with attempted murder, but pleaded guilty to aggravated assault last December.
The man was home alone with the baby on Aug. 13, 2011, when he became increasingly angry and despondent in the mistaken belief the boy’s mother had been cheating on him. The man, who was drinking, used the large knife to slash his son twice.
The boy’s injuries were initially life-threatening, but his condition later improved and he is expected to fully recover.
Dinkel noted the boy lost 25 per cent of his blood and the man must have known he was endangering his son’s life.
The man, who came to Canada from South Sudan eight years ago, has significant support from members of the country’s expatriate community who have pledged to help his rehabilitation.
Crown prosecutor Margot Engley had sought a six-to seven-year prison term.
The appellate court reserved its decision.

"Good" dad who slit infant son's throat gets 5 years in jail (Calgary, Canada)
The usual indulgence of an abuser daddy. Notice that we don't even pretend here that this was mental illness. Nope, this is your typical case of Daddy punishing Mom for her real or imaginary "sins" by committing acts of violence against a baby. He knew full well what he was doing, and just didn't give a sh**. Wouldn't even allow the baby to get medical help after his stinking Daddy Drama complete with police standoff.
But as we often see, UNNAMED DAD is getting off easy. Everybody is sucking up to him with bullcrap about him really being a "good and caring father." And he'll be out of jail so he can further terrorize women and children in practically no time at all.

Father who slit infant son's throat sentenced to 5 years in jail

CALGARY -- An Alberta judge has sentenced a man to five years in prison for slashing his infant son on the throat and abdomen with a butcher knife, saying the father's violent actions were spawned by "anger, rage and jealousy" toward his wife.
The 33-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the child's identity, was charged after police officers responded to a 911 call at a home in the city's southeast on Aug. 13, 2011.
They found an angry and agitated man with a baby inside the home. The baby had been cut with a kitchen knife and was rushed to hospital. The officers provided first aid to the child who was in critical condition. He is now in good health and home with his family
"In a very cold-blooded and calculating manner he put him on the floor, undid his clothes and cut him twice," said Judge Mike Dinkel.
"The accused used the attack on the child to inflict pain on the mother. The child was a tool," Dinkel said.
"It was based on anger, rage and jealousy over the mistaken belief that his wife ... was cheating on him. He knew what he was doing and intended to do harm."
Dinkel said the cut on the 11-month-old boy's throat was 15 centimetres long and the wound to his abdomen was 20 centimetres long. He said the child lost about one-quarter of the blood in his body and the slash to the throat was only a centimetre away from major veins and arteries.
He said another aggravating factor was the accused not providing any medical assistance to his son. He tried to stop police from entering the home, the judge said.
"He brandished the bloody butcher knife and demanded to be shot. He knew the child was in medical distress."
The accused, who sat quietly in the prisoner's docket wearing a blue jumpsuit, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. The sentence was mitigated by his early guilty plea and that he had previously been a good and caring father. He also has the support of Calgary's Sudanese community, the judge noted. Several members were in attendance at the sentencing Friday.
With time already served the man still has nearly four years left on his sentence.
The Crown had been asking for between six and seven years while the defence wanted a sentence in the 2 1/2-year range.
His lawyer, Alain Hepner wasn't surprised at the judge's decision.
"This child was 11 months old and he was the parent. That is the crux of the matter really from the judge's point of view and understandably," said Hepner.
"I think he was prepared for any sentence the judge was going to impose. He felt the remorse and felt he should be punished for what happened."
Crown lawyer Margot Engley, who called the crime "a horrific case," was satisfied with the outcome.
"It's such a serious case and we were seeking more time than what the judge sentenced him to, however it is a significant amount of time," she said.
"We can't be happy with it but we might be satisfied."
