Jonathon Naylor Editor Lloyd Carr's sentencing for scamming the NOR-MAN Regional Health Authority has been postponed until April. Crown prosecutor Todd Rambow said the delay gives Carr and his lawyer time to review a victim impact statement submitted by the NRHA. This is the third time Carr's sentencing, first scheduled for early December and again for early January, has been deferred. His Dec. 9 sentencing was delayed when Rambow was unable to attend due to family medical reasons. Then came last week's delay stemming from the victim impact statement. Last November, Carr pled guilty in Flin Flon Provincial Court to one count of forgery and one count of attempted fraud over $5,000. Employment The charges relate to the unqualified con man's securing employment with the NRHA and his false claim to have cancer, a lie that garnered him paid sick leave. All this came after Carr was found to have defrauded the Alberta government of $634,000 between 2004 and 2006. He worked at the NRHA between 2008 and 2010. For his Alberta crimes, Carr has been on parole since Nov. 15, having served less than one fifth of his 42-month sentence behind bars. A former coworker of Carr's at the NRHA called the fraudster's early parole "ridiculous" and a sign that "the system is completely messed up."
