Therae Racette-Beaulieu was in Minnedosa court today for shooting an RCMP officer back in August.

The crown wants the court to give Racette-Beaulieu 20 years for shooting Cpl. Graeme Kingdon in the head. The defence council is arguing for 16 years. 

During today's hearing, family members, neighbours, RCMP officers, and the victims gave accounts for how the incident has affected their lives.

The August 29th incident started when Racette-Beaulieu and three others stole a truck, leading to the incident where he shot Cpl. Kingdon.

In January, Racette-Beaulieu pleaded guilty to attempted murder, breaking and entering, stealing firearms, and theft of a motor vehicle.
