The accused pleaded guilty to possession of proceeds of crime arising from a drug trafficking investigation (Project O'Woodcraft) involving the sale of heroin.
The accused, a 20-year-old first offender, acted as a courier for his father, transferring cash proceeds from drug sales.
The Crown sought 3-4 years imprisonment; the defence sought a conditional sentence of 2 years less a day.
The court imposed a conditional sentence of 21 months, balancing the seriousness of the offence and denunciatory principles against the accused's youth, genuine remorse, guilty plea, positive background, and lack of criminal record.
