Grant Sentenced for New Assault Charges | Winnipeg News
Description
Mark Edward Grant, once acquitted of the 1984 murder of 13-year-old Candace Derksen, now faces a 9-year, 42-day prison sentence for sexual assault and forcible confinement in British Columbia — a case that resurfaced after a woman in her 60s reported being assaulted in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The new conviction follows his January arrest and comes decades after his 2017 acquittal in the high-profile murder trial, which was overturned by Canada’s Supreme Court due to degraded DNA evidence. This latest ruling marks a stark legal turn, separating the assault charges from the long-resolved murder case.
