E. Rondinelli

The offender pleaded guilty to firearm-related offences including unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing its possession was unauthorized, possession of a loaded restricted firearm, and careless storage of ammunition.

The court imposed a 28-month custodial sentence (after credit for restrictive bail conditions) on the primary charge, with concurrent sentences on the remaining counts.

The court emphasized the principles of deterrence and denunciation while considering the offender's early guilty plea, first-time offender status, and excellent rehabilitation prospects.

Ancillary orders included a 10-year firearms prohibition, a DNA order, forfeiture orders, and a victim fine surcharge.

The accused pleaded guilty to assault and breaches of a section 810.2 recognizance.

The assault occurred on July 7, 2017, when the accused punched the victim on the head and stole her earring while she was walking to work.

The accused was subject to multiple prior orders requiring him to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, which he breached.

The court imposed an 18-month sentence minus 196 days of presentence custody, plus 3 years of probation with conditions including no contact with the victim.
