CaptainCanuck_mtl Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I hope he gets whatever ANYONE one else would get in the same situation.After all he did knowingly break the law. BTW I loved the man as a hockey player and even met him once, but he is still just a man and deserves to be treated as such and not as a hockey idol.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 "Obstruction of Justice" is not an appropriate term in this case. Justice was done and his son was given a curfew with his father to oversee the process. It is more "Aiding and Abetting his son in breaking the conditions of his curfew".

Zonave Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 He should get what anyone else would get in this situation: no more, no less due to his status. I agree, although i do feel for him. "Obstruction of Justice" is not an appropriate term in this case. Justice was done and his son was given a curfew with his father to oversee the process. It is more "Aiding and Abetting his son in breaking the conditions of his curfew". true, but either way, he broke the law. Is there a source for this? Its not that i don't believe it, but i want to read an article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubby31 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hockey legend Guy Lafleur has been found guilty of giving contradictory testimony. The former NHL star, who played much of his career with the Montreal Canadiens, was on trial this spring on a single charge of giving contradictory testimony during his son Mark's bail hearing in 2007. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/20...imony-0501.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubby31 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Well,he was guilty. Wonder if he still goes ahead with his 3.5 million law suit??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubby31 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I hope he gets whatever ANYONE one else would get in the same situation. Always went beyond to help bail out Mark when in trouble,this time,they both pay the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynch_mtl Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 That's what he gets for playing for the Quebec Nordiques. I guess that's life. Wonder if he'll actually get 14 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mortwinkler Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm interested to see what he'll serve, if anything. Over the past few years I've lost a lot of respect for Guy, so I say you reap what you sew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynch_mtl Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 ya think??? What do you mean? I had heard from someone who actually cares about the topic that he probably won't get the 14 years. i had also read that his sentence ranges from 10-14, so it's possible to get 10. Being a hockeystar, it's also possible that he gets a lesser sentence because he's not the average joe. He might not get 14 years, unless that' what you meant as well.

Kubby31 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 MMW: Guy lafleur will not go to jail. "He's very sad," said his lawyer, Jean-Pierre Rancourt. "He was hoping for an acquittal but we will cope with this. While Crown prosecutor Lori-Renee Weitzman is seeking house arrest, Rancourt argued his client has suffered enough and ought to be slapped with just a fine. A criminal record will simply exacerbate his suffering by making it difficult for him to travel to the United States, a place he visits frequently for work. "A fine would be sufficient to address all the criteria of sentencing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon.Man Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Or a leafs fan. The sad thing is ....Guy did do something illegal. He gave the HABS a better part of his life then did this...I feel sorry for him. I don't want to see him behind bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubby31 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 MONTREAL -- Hockey legend Guy Lafleur will have a criminal record after being fined $100 and given a one-year-suspended sentence. The former Montreal Canadiens sniper has also been ordered to donate $10,000 to charity after being convicted last month of giving contradictory evidence at his son's bail hearing in 2007. Lafleur initially said his son always respected a court-ordered curfew but he told a subsequent court hearing he drove him to a hotel twice for intimate encounters with his 16-year-old girlfriend. Lafleur was stoic as Quebec court Judge Claude Parent read the ruling in a Montreal courtroom this afternoon. Parent said he couldn't conclude Lafleur acted deliberately but added that didn't justify or excuse his actions. Lafleur is appealing the guilty verdict handed down on May 1.
