Carter Spencer, 39, the Saskatchewan man who hit and killed skateboarder Christopher Kniffen, 19, and then fled the scene has been sentenced to four years three months in prison, according to a story on CBC.ca.
Court heard that Spencer was high on drugs and drunk when the truck he was driving hit Kniffen, who was skateboarding home from work. . . In sentencing Spencer on Thursday in Regina, Judge Ted Malone admonished the man for leaving the scene of the accident.
Kniffen (pictured right) was on his way home from work when he was hit. Spencer will also be “prohibited from driving for 10 years” after he gets out of prison. Four years just doesn’t seem long enough, really.

Well, 10 years of walking around town makes him an easy target for justice to be served right back at him, if he survives prison- hope Spencer himself gets run over- now that would be irony.
only 4 years for taking someone’s life?! that’s practically a slap on the hand.
The Judge admonished the man for leaving the scene of an accident ! How bout’ for being wasted and killing a kid on his way home from work !!!
4 years , homeless Mom’s get more for writing bad checks . Helluva justice system in Regina . RIP Christopher , God’s going to have to get the justice on this one.
