‘Life-altering consequences:’ Edmonton busker jailed for assaulting man
EDMONTON — A judge has sentenced a busker to 18 months in jail for attacking a man he thought had swiped some of his change.
The assault left Donny Crier, 41, a quadriplegic.
Court heard Allen Dakota Cardinal was playing his guitar inside a light rail transit station in downtown Edmonton last April.
Crier was dancing nearby with a friend who had dropped some money onto a blanket that Cardinal was using to collect donations.
