The respondent was convicted of attempted murder after using his pick-up truck to run down the victim following a consensual fight.
The trial judge sentenced him to three years in the penitentiary.
The Crown appealed the sentence, arguing it was manifestly inadequate given the respondent's concerted effort to kill the victim and the devastating injuries caused.
The Court of Appeal agreed, finding the three-year sentence wholly inadequate despite mitigating factors such as the lack of planning and the respondent's work record.
The appeal was allowed and the sentence was increased to six years.
