The accused in this case is due back in court on 1er next June for the rest of the procedures.
For their part, although seriously injured, the two friends of Mr. Langlois recovered from their injuries… before a sad twist of fate took one of them in another car accident a year later, in Saint-Malachie.
A desire for justice
However, it is not impossible that other charges will be filed against Mr. Hoffman since Jeffrey Langlois died on May 24, at the CHSLD in Saint-Gervais.
Suffering from aphasia, dysphagia, cerebral amnesia and partial paralysis since the accident, he had refused to eat for several days.
“He was only a shadow of himself,” laments his mother. He didn’t want to eat or drink at all. He let himself go…”

Her husband, Martin Langlois, wants this tragedy to serve as an example to discourage other drivers from driving while intoxicated. “We don’t want revenge, we just want justice for our son.”
“We wonder every day since the accident how we are going to make it through. What clings to our lives are our other children.”
– Céline Pelletier, mother of Jeffrey Langlois
“What Jeffrey went through, his suffering, we don’t wish that on our worst enemy.”
– Martin Langlois, father of Jeffrey
