Lobster fisherman involved in fatal collision to be sentenced March 17 – Prosecutor wants jail time

The judge on Wednesday adjourned the case until March 17, when he will hand down the sentence. But first, court heard from families of the victims, 20-year-old Justin MacKay and 59-year-old Chris Melanson.
