Man who beat, raped, and lit woman on fire has no pattern of brutality: doctor
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — A psychologist says a man who beat, raped and then set a woman on fire is not necessarily at high risk to reoffend.
Dr. Terry Nicholaichuk testified Monday at a hearing to determine whether Leslie Ivan Roderick Black should be declared a dangerous offender.
Black pleaded guilty to attempted murder of Marlene Bird, who was burned so badly that doctors had to amputate both her legs after the June 2014 attack in Prince Albert, Sask.
If Black is designated a dangerous offender, he will face an indeterminate prison sentence.
