Weekend sentence allows
man to continue college
Kingwatsiak Kingwatsiak,
34, received a 60-day intermittent sentence for assaulting his spouse.
The part-time sentence
allows Kingwatsiak to continue with Arctic Colleges jewelry and metalwork
design program. Hell serve his sentence on weekends.
Agitated by a crying baby,
the well-known carver punched his spouse in the head when she failed to pacify
the baby on May 29, 2002.
He was arrested that day
and spent four months at the Baffin Correctional Centre before his sentencing
on Sept. 24.
The woman and her three
children now live in Nunavik.
Justice Robert Kilpatrick
said the weekend sentence is subject to Kingwatsiaks enrollment at the
college.
