The accused pleaded guilty to trafficking fentanyl and criminal negligence causing death after selling heroin and furanyl fentanyl to a friend who subsequently died of an overdose.
The court determined the fit sentence was 5 years for criminal negligence and 3 years concurrent for trafficking.
The sentence was reduced by 1.5 years due to the accused's cooperation with the Crown in prosecuting a co-accused.
After applying 28.5 months of enhanced pre-sentence custody credit, the accused was sentenced to an additional 13.5 months in custody, followed by 2 years of probation.
