Lee Mosley was convicted of four criminal offenses, including pointing a firearm, possessing a weapon contrary to a s. 109 prohibition order, failing to comply with a release order, and unauthorized weapon possession.
The charges stemmed from an incident where Mosley brandished a handgun at two unarmed men attempting to retrieve stolen tires from his property.
The court considered aggravating factors such as the use of a real firearm, the existing prohibition order, and the threat posed to public safety, alongside mitigating factors like the absence of prior firearms convictions and a history of trauma.
The pre-sentence report indicated a lack of insight and remorse.
The court imposed a total sentence of three years imprisonment, emphasizing denunciation and deterrence for firearms offenses, while rejecting the Crown's request for 4.5 years as disproportionate given the specific facts and the accused's record.
