The accused pleaded guilty to two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking in cocaine and one count of failure to comply with a recognizance.
The Crown sought five years imprisonment while the defence sought four years.
The court imposed a global sentence of four years, taking into account aggravating factors including the quantity of cocaine, the ongoing commercial enterprise, a prior conviction for similar offences, and breach of bail conditions, balanced against mitigating factors including the guilty plea, genuine remorse, youth, difficult childhood circumstances, and support from family.
