The court sentenced Carl Richard for convictions arising from a shooting at a Hamilton bar, including discharging a firearm with intent, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm, and assault with a weapon.
The court considered aggravating and mitigating factors, including Richard's lengthy criminal record, the seriousness of the offence, provocation, and harsh pre-trial custody conditions.
A global sentence of 10 years was imposed, less pre-trial custody and mitigation for harsh conditions, resulting in approximately 5 years and 11 months to be served.
