Diese Entscheidung hat auch Relevanz für Autisten, da sie sich auf die UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention stützt. Dieser blinde Straftäter wird nun unter Hausarrest gestellt, da offenbar kein barrierefreies Gefängnis zur Verfügung steht.

The reason for Judge Heather Lamoureux's decision in a Calgary courtroom Tuesday was largely based on the grounds that Alberta's correctional institutions cannot accommodate Keith Myette's disability.

The Crown had been asking for 18 months to two years behind bars.
Defence lawyer Brendan Miller says putting a blind criminal in jail would be a human rights issue.
