The defendant pleaded guilty to trafficking in fentanyl.
On two occasions in January and February 2018, the defendant sold fentanyl patches from her prescription to another individual, totaling 18 patches of 25 micrograms each.
The Crown sought three years in penitentiary while the defence sought one year in reformatory.
The court imposed a sentence of one year in jail followed by one year of probation, considering the defendant's extraordinary personal circumstances, including a history of childhood sexual abuse, multiple mental and physical health conditions, genuine remorse, and lack of prior custody, balanced against the serious danger posed by fentanyl trafficking and the need for general deterrence and denunciation.
