A sentencing hearing for Ka-Mikosit Favelle, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter for killing her boyfriend Adam Briand-Lawrence with her vehicle in West Kelowna in 2022, was adjourned after Favelle was hospitalized due to a drug overdose and suicide attempt. Justice Catherine Murray was contemplating a sentence exceeding the Crown’s seven-year proposal when the hearing was interrupted. Favelle had been out on bail with conditions against drug use, and a warrant was issued for her arrest following the incident. The Crown characterized her actions as “near murder,” advocating for a six to seven-year sentence, while Briand-Lawrence’s family expressed frustration over the delays in justice.
