The appellant pleaded guilty to impersonation, fraud over $5,000, and failure to comply with a recognizance, and was sentenced to fourteen months' imprisonment and eighteen months' probation.
He appealed the sentence, arguing it was demonstrably unfit and seeking a reduction based on fresh evidence of a serious medical condition.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the sentence fit given the appellant's criminal record and the commission of the second offence while on bail.
The court also declined to reduce the sentence based on the fresh evidence, noting the institution's obligation to provide adequate medical treatment and the upcoming parole hearing.
