Cheeseman & Hennessey Sentencing PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mike Roszko   
Wednesday, 11 February 2009
      Shawn Hennessey and Dennis Cheeseman, who admitted helping James Roszko kill four RCMP officers near Mayerthorpe, Alta., in 2005, were sentenced in Edmonton on Friday January 30th, 2009, to 15 years and 12 years in prison, respectively.

      Alberta Court of Queen's Bench Justice Eric Macklin gave the men credit for pleading guilty and for time already spent in custody — reducing Cheeseman's sentence to seven years and two months, and Hennessey's to 10 years and four months.

      Cheeseman, 25, and Hennessey, 29, from Barrhead, Alta., both pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Jan. 19. Cheeseman has spent nearly 11 months in custody and Hennessey about 10 months.
