Grantham began his career as a child actor at age nine. “...there's a lot of aspects to the case that are more equivalent to first degree [murder] than they are with second degree.” After shooting her, the court heard he covered his mother with a sheet and went out to buy beer. The ultimate decision on where Grantham will serve his sentence, however, will be up to the Correctional Service of Canada over the coming months. Johnson said the judge specifically recommended Grantham not be held in a maximum security institution because of “his young age and diminutive size.” The former child actor charged with the second-degree murder of his mother in Squamish, B.C., has been sentenced to life in prison.
