TEN YEARS TOO SHORT FOR COCAINE TRAFFICKING

Re: "Drawn-out cocaine case ends with 10-year sentence," Nov. 26.

Judge Paul Dohm imposed a sentence, in his words, "on the higher end
of the range."

According to the Criminal Code, the high end of the scale is "life in
prison" for importing or trafficking in cocaine. A life sentence in
Canada is 25 years, which to me appears to be only a half life, but
it might be a deterrent to drug dealers if it was imposed.

Ajitpal Singh Sekhon will be out in much less than 10 years.

I will gladly pay more taxes to see him and his ilk locked up for life.
