A Winnipeg man who continued to rack up driving offences after he caused a fatal highway collision should spend up to two years in jail, a judge was told yesterday.

Brandon Rupp, 23, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death in connection with a Sept. 25, 2008 collision that killed 68-year-old Gloria Jane Haight.
Rupp wasn't arrested for the collision until May 2009. Following the collision and prior to his arrest, Rupp was ticketed twice for speeding -- in one incident driving 105 km/h in a 60 km/h zone -- and charged for driving without a licence.
"His post-offence conduct is not indicative of remorse," said Crown attorney Jocelyne Ritchot. "He has shown a complete disregard for the safety of others."
Court heard Rupp was driving a loaded gravel truck southbound on provincial road 207 near Beausejour when he flew through a stop sign at Highway 15 and collided with a westbound GMC pickup truck.
A witness driving behind Rupp said he made no attempt to apply his brakes prior to impact. Police estimated he was driving at least 60 km/h at the time of impact.
The gravel truck landed on top of the passenger side of the pickup truck, crushing it and killing Haight. Her husband Conrad, 72, survived the accident but later died after slipping into a diabetic coma.
With the loss of his wife, Conrad "lost all will to live," their son Clifford told court.
Gloria's death "completely destroyed my father ... and led directly to his death," Clifford said.
'Very angry'
Son Gordon Haight, a youth corrections worker, said the deaths of his parents will haunt him forever and continues to affect his work life.
"As a result of the accident, I find it's a struggle to rehabilitate offenders and carry out my job effectively... I am unhappy and very angry," he said.
In a victim impact statement written three weeks before he died, Conrad called his wife the adhesive who held his family together.
Two people were killed in that collision, Conrad wrote -- Gloria "and myself who is dying a slow and painful death."
Defence lawyer Stuart Murray argued Rupp is "young and not beyond redemption" and should be sentenced to one year in custody.
Judge Lee Ann Martin reserved her decision. A sentencing date will be set later this month.

Driver guilty in fatal crash
Crown seeks up to 24 months jail time

PRINT E–MAIL SHARE THIS REPORT ERROR Conrad and Jane Haight were enjoying their golden years of retirement, spending time with their five grandchildren, taking long walks at Birds Hill Park and preparing to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
Brandon Rupp was a violent criminal wanted on an arrest warrant who frequently disobeyed court orders and the Highway Traffic Act.
Their paths crossed tragically on the afternoon of Sept. 25, 2008, leaving behind two crumpled vehicles, countless shattered lives and a lifetime of loss, anger and sorrow.
Rupp, 23, pleaded guilty Wednesday to dangerous driving causing death for killing Jane Haight and seriously injuring Conrad, sending the senior into a physical and emotional tailspin that would result in his death less than a year later.
The Crown is seeking between 18 and 24 months in prison for Rupp, while his lawyer has asked the judge to impose just 12 months behind bars. Recent changes to federal legislation mean a conditional sentence is no longer available. Rupp has spent about three months in pre-trial custody, which Crown and defence lawyers agree should be given double-time credit of six months.
The sentencing decision has been adjourned until later this month.
Rupp was behind the wheel of his father's gravel truck, which was carrying a full load, when he somehow missed a stop sign while driving south on a gravel road in the Rural Municipality of Springfield just east of Winnipeg. He entered Highway 15 at full speed, making no attempt to brake before slamming into the side of the Haight's pickup truck, which was travelling west on the highway.
The initial impact caused the gravel truck to fly into the air, coming to rest on top of the Haight's vehicle and crushing it underneath. Jane, 68, was killed while sitting in the passenger seat. Conrad, 73, escaped with his life, but never fully recovered.
The couple's two sons, who both work in Manitoba Corrections, read aloud a chilling victim impact statement written by their father shortly after the deadly crash. "Two people were killed that day. My wife died instantly. The other person, myself, is dying a slow and painful death."
He lapsed into a diabetic coma in May 2009 and never woke up, dying several weeks later. His family says short-term memory loss suffered in the crash caused him to frequently miss taking medication, causing his death.
Conrad worked for years as a captain of government and commercial ships and ferries, including the River Rouge ship in Winnipeg.
"My mom was the glue that held our family together. (Her death) completely destroyed my father's life. With her passing, he lost all will to live," Clifford Haight told court in his victim impact statement. He works as a correctional officer at Headingley Jail and told the judge he hopes to never cross paths with Rupp behind bars. He asked the judge to impose a specific non-contact order.
Gordon Haight works in youth corrections at Lakewood, a high-security, special-handling unit for young offenders near Portage la Prairie. He said Rupp's role in his parents' deaths has him re-evaluating his career.
