The offender pleaded guilty to six offences, including conspiracy to commit robbery and discharging a firearm with intent, following a drive-by shooting and vehicle pursuit in Stoney Creek.
The Crown and defence proposed a joint submission of eight years.
The court expressed serious concern that the joint submission was at the extreme low end of the range for such egregious gun violence, but ultimately accepted it.
Due to the leniency of the joint submission and the offender's repeated institutional misconduct, the court declined to grant enhanced Duncan credit for harsh pre-sentence custody conditions and reduced the standard Summers credit to a 1.25:1 ratio, resulting in a net sentence of 69 months.
