The Superior Court of Justice delivered reasons for sentence for Tahjai Hannay following guilty pleas to drug trafficking and firearm offences.
The accused was found in possession of cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and a loaded prohibited firearm with a prohibited device.
The court accepted a joint submission from counsel, finding it reasonable and within the acceptable range of sentences, noting that a guilty plea was the strongest mitigating factor.
The court applied the test for joint submissions, ensuring it would not bring the administration of justice into disrepute.
The sentence included a net custodial term of 925 days, a lifetime firearms prohibition under s. 109 of the Criminal Code, a DNA order, and forfeiture of seized items, with the victim fine surcharge waived due to time in custody.
