The young actor’s lawyer tells The Hollywood Reporter that Grantham will be eligible for parole only after spending 14 years behind bars.
. Johnson said Grantham has been in prison since April 1, 2020 and during that period had been assessed by two court-appointed psychiatrists.
“The psychiatrists agreed that at the time of this horrendous event he was suffering from a major depressive disorder and a cannabis use disorder, among other things,” he said. In March, Grantham pleaded guilty to using a handgun to shoot his 64 year-old mother, Barbara Waite, on March 31, 2020 at their home in Squamish, B.C.
“At his sentencing, gave a speech to the judge indicating that he was going to dedicate the rest of his life to rehabilitating himself and helping other people. So he’s on the way to getting better,” Johnson added.
