The truck driver fatally struck vegan activist Regan outside a Canadian slaughterhouse and pleaded guilty to careless driving causing death.
Andrew Blake appeared in court via video and was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine and receive a 12-month probation period during which he can only drive for work or to and from his job.
Reports suggest that the Crown lawyer stated there was a possibility of acquittal if the case had gone to trial.
Although there is currently no information regarding whether or not he has been sent to prison or sentenced, it is possible that he could face a sentence of more than 30 years or even life imprisonment for causing the death of a 65-year-old woman in the incident.
Besides the court decision, the father of the victim, Bill Russell, spoke outside the courthouse in Burlington, Ontario, and believed that justice could not be fully served for his daughter through the legal system.
Bill stated that his daughter’s legacy is being upheld by the many individuals inspired by her activism who continue to carry on her work.
