Simon Banke pleaded guilty in early May to two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death in the deaths of Leo Paul Regnier, 36, and his wife Sherrianne, 35.

The Regniers were returning from an evening out on Sept. 16, 2010 and were waiting at a temporary bus stop on Albert Street west of Bank Street when witnesses said a sports car turned from Bank onto Albert, jumped the curb and struck the couple.

Paul Regnier was pronounced dead at the scene, while his wife died in hospital in the days following.

The couple left behind three girls, Isabella, 9, Jessica, 13, and Sarah, 15.

Victim impact statements read Wednesday

Family members of the victims read impact statements on Wednesday, including Sherrianne's mother and one of Paul's sisters, who now cares for the couple's daughters.

The three girls left their home and move in with their aunt. One of the daughters, Jessica, had her statement read by the Crown. The statement said how she had "a perfect life" before the crash and how the death of her parents changed the life of her and her two sisters.

Another of Paul Regnier's sisters, Suzanne Baker, had mixed emotions outside the courthouse.

"I would like to see him get whatever he deserves and I don't know what that is, because they can't bring my brother and his wife back," said Baker outside the courthouse.

On May 2, Banke admitted to a judge he was driving his Nissan 300 ZX at a "dangerously high rate of speed" on the night of September 16th, 2010. A safety inspection later revealed the car's tires were severely worn and in need of replacement.
