The offender, a racialized transgender woman, was sentenced after being found guilty of assault with a weapon, three counts of assault with intent to resist arrest against police officers, mischief, and breach of probation.
The court considered her difficult background, prior criminal record including a manslaughter conviction, and community work, but found no remorse.
The court emphasized denunciation and deterrence, particularly for assaults on police officers, and determined that a conditional sentence was inappropriate given the serious nature of the offences and the offender's record.
A total sentence of 12 months and 15 days' incarceration was imposed, followed by two years' probation, a 10-year weapons prohibition, and a DNA order.
