Terrell Harrison pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and discharging a firearm with intent to wound after shooting his father.
The court considered aggravating factors, including the severity of the offence, and significant mitigating factors, such as his difficult childhood, family dysfunction, and sincere remorse.
The judge also factored in the unconscionable delay in obtaining the Enhanced Pre-sentence Report and the harsh conditions of his pre-sentence custody.
The court imposed a sentence of seven years, concurrent on both counts, with credit for pre-sentence custody amounting to 5 years and 6 months, leaving 18 months left to serve.
