Sears gets a year in jail for publishing hate, court decides

Canadian Press says that the editor of the East-York based Your Ward News has been sentenced to a year in jail for publishing hate. James Sears seems likely to serve about six months of that sentence before release. Sears, 55, had argued that his lawyer had purposely thrown the case but the judge disagreed. The paper’s publisher, LeRoy St. Germaine, will be sentenced next week.
