Senior appellate counsel Jolaine Antonio on George Many Shots' killing: 'I have never had a case that turned my stomach in the same way that this one did.' "I deal with a lot of blood and gore and violence and brutality," Calgary-based Antonio said of the Many Shots case. She and her team pushed hard, asking for the same sentence Gray faced on his second-degree murder conviction — the maximum sentence for a manslaughter conviction. One of the aggravating factors researched extensively by Antonio so that it could be argued at sentencing was that Many Shots' killing was a hate crime. Though Many Shots' killing was clearly motivated by his hatred of Aboriginal people in his neighbourhood, Gray's lawyer attempted to rationalize his client's anger.
