It will be five years in jail for Wayne Victor Willier. He entered a guilty plea to three charges related to a kidnapping and fatal vehicle crash on Queensway in Prince George in early August.

That is the crash which claimed the life of passenger Jeannette Quinn, and the discovery of the vehicle's owner in the trunk.

The vehicle sped off when police tried to have it pull over, it slammed into a tree in the front yard of a Queensway residence before coming to rest on the roadway.

Initially charged with extortion, utering threats, assault with a weapon, robbery, assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping, Willier entered a plea of guilty to the extortion, robbery and kidnapping charges. The other counts were stayed.

Co-accused, Shila Ann Glaim will appear in court tomorrow.

That was pretty fast justice! What's the matter, the guy doesn't have any money or connections?

Five years, which in Canada means probably about 1 or 2 years max. Not bad for killing someone, kidnapping, robbery, extortion, and God knows what else. It would be nice to say "goodbye" to this fine outstanding citizen for many many years.
