The court sentenced Mouhamad Al Jalmoud for two counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death and one count of dangerous operation causing bodily harm, following a jury trial.
The jury found him not criminally responsible by reason of mental disorder for three related counts of failing to stop after an accident.
The court reviewed the facts, aggravating and mitigating factors, and the applicable sentencing principles and case law.
Al Jalmoud was sentenced to 3 years and 3 months in custody (after credit for pre-trial custody and strict bail conditions), with a 15-year driving prohibition to follow, and a DNA order.
The decision discusses the impact of mental illness on moral culpability, the range of sentences for similar offences, and the significance of both aggravating and mitigating factors.
