Katelin McGillivray was sentenced to five years for being an accessory after the fact in the killing of a young mother, Jordanna Kucher, in 2024.
Tears, grief and anger filled a Saskatoon provincial courtroom Wednesday as the family of Jordanna Kucher read out victim impact statements in the sentencing hearing for Katelin McGillivary for her role in the killing.
McGillivary, 36, was sentenced to five years in custody after pleading guilty to accessory after the fact, with the Crown and defence making a joint submission.
Kucher, 20, was shot and killed outside the Copper Mug Pub on 8th Street East on Nov. 14, 2024.
Her partner said in his victim impact statement that he is reminded of Kucher’s murder every time he looks at their daughter.
Kucher’s mother said to McGillivary that she hopes for her sake that she will take the next few years to reflect on her lack of regard for human life.
McGillivary was originally charged with first-degree murder.
Those charges were later dropped as a teenager, who cannot be named because of his age, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in August 2025.
McGillivary began crying as the statements were read.
