The offender was found guilty by a jury of possessing a loaded prohibited firearm and pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm while subject to a prohibition order.
The court considered the offender's background, including systemic anti-Black racism, and the harsh conditions of his pre-sentence custody involving frequent lockdowns.
Emphasizing denunciation and deterrence, the court imposed a total sentence of 39 months' imprisonment, which was reduced to 12 months of new custody after applying enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody, followed by 12 months of probation.
