The offender pleaded guilty to robbery following a planned home invasion.
He and a co-accused broke into a residence to steal drugs.
The offender brought a BB gun and was the main organizer.
During the robbery, the co-accused fatally stabbed an occupant.
The offender was not present for the stabbing, having fled after being bear-sprayed.
The court weighed the significant aggravating factors, including the offender's lengthy criminal record and the fact that the robbery resulted in a death, against mitigating factors such as his guilty plea, harsh pre-sentence custody conditions, and the principle of restraint for a first penitentiary sentence.
The offender was sentenced to 6 years and 9 months in prison, less 30 months of pre-sentence custody credit.
