Graham Henderson: Benchmarks

Corey Pope Dept: The two cases have set new benchmarks for aggravated assault convictions in the Yukon, according to CBC. Henderson said he suffered memory loss and has a $20,000 dental bill and federal prosecutors in Yukon are appealing sentences handed out recently for violent assaults. In the first case, a Burwash Landing man, 35-year-old Corey Pope, was pounding on doors late one night at the Destruction Bay Lodge. When visiting physician Graham Henderson tried to calm Pope, the elderly doctor was knocked unconscious with one punch. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
