Sentence for counselling to traffic marijuana reduced from two years to six months consecutive.
The appellant was convicted of counselling to commit the indictable offence of trafficking and sentenced to two years consecutive, based on a joint submission.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal found the sentencing judge erred in principle in accepting the two-year range, noting the drug was a small quantity of marijuana for personal use.
Leave to appeal was granted and the sentence was reduced to six months consecutive.
