Jacinda Hudson was convicted by a jury of importing fentanyl and possession of fentanyl for the purposes of trafficking.
The court considered the gravity of the offence, the devastating impact of fentanyl, and the offender's personal circumstances, including her lack of criminal record and potential for rehabilitation.
The Crown sought a sentence of 10-12 years, while the defence proposed 6-8 years.
The court imposed a sentence of eight years imprisonment for each count, to be served concurrently, along with a DNA order and a 10-year weapons prohibition.
