Quebec's Court of Appeal will deliberate before deciding on the matter of ex-lieutet-governor Lise Thibault's 18-month jail term. The 76-year-old was sentenced last September to 18 months behind bars, but was freed after serving six days. Her lawyer Marc Labelle argued before the province's highest court today that the sentence should be reduced. He cited the media coverage of Thibault, which Labelle says was meant to humiliate her. (Thibault pleaded guilty in December of 2014, after a report by the federal and provincial auditors general revealed she claimed more than 700-thousand dollars in improper expenses when she held the post. --)
