Dangerous offender tag may be sought for convicted killer

A long-term offender designation would see Kyle Wescott subject to lengthy community supervision following whatever prison term the Court of King's Bench judge deems appropriate

The Crown is considering whether to seek a dangerous offender finding against a Calgary man convicted Wednesday of a reduced charge of manslaughter in a fatal stabbing.

Prosecutor Gord Haight told Justice Charlene Anderson that he wishes to mull over the possibility of seeking an assessment of Kyle Wescott to determine if he meets the criteria for either a dangerous offender finding, or a long-term offender finding.
