Didsbury woman sentenced for role in assault on innocent bystander

A Didsbury woman who was a party to an attack on an innocent bystander was handed 90 days jail time and strict probation Thursday instead of a lengthy prison sentence.

Donna Faulkner, 39, was convicted of aggravated assault earlier this year in relation to a March 2018 assault against Theodore Raukema.

Crown prosecutor Britta Kristensen said the woman incited others to hurt her ex-boyfriend, John Hornby, and Raukema was attacked in a case of mistaken identity.

Kristensen argued Faulkner should be sentenced to six years in prison, but Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Robert Hall ultimately agreed on 90 days.
