Gabriola man sentenced to two years in jail in crash that killed beloved volunteer firefighter

Goosman, 49, was not impaired by alcohol, but had recently been prescribed Suboxone to deal with an addiction to street drugs, his sentencing hearing in Nanaimo was told Monday. Goosman was feeling unwell and knew he was unfit to drive. He contacted a friend to drive him, but the friend declined. Goosman doesn’t remember driving or deciding to drive.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robin Baird called Goosman’s behaviour that morning “nothing short of abysmal.” He accepted a joint submission from Crown and defence, but made it clear to Goosman that the sentence of two-year less a day followed by 18 months of probation, was at the lower end of the range.

Nanaimo man convicted of manslaughter in death of his tormentor

The murder was impulsively committed on the spur of the moment in response to a sudden and unexpected provocation before Buchanan’s passions had time to cool, said Baird.
“In my view, you reacted inappropriately and disproportionately, but understandably, to a sufficiently wrongful act or insult from Mr. Sitar.”
Evidence at trial revealed that Sitar was a drug dealer, prolific thief and property fencer. He lived with his wife, Amanda, and ran a brisk trade in narcotics and stolen property out of their apartment on Nicol Street. Buchanan was a heroin and methamphetamine addict, living rough in a makeshift shanty in a backyard near Sitar’s apartment building.
