The Ontario Court of Justice sentenced Dylan Victor McCormack-Woolacoot after he pled guilty to ten charges involving repeated low-level offences and assaults over an eighteen-month period, committed while breaching multiple court orders.
The key issue was the appropriate credit for pre-sentence custody, with the defence seeking enhanced Summers credit (1.5:1) and the Crown opposing based on a recent trial decision denying such credit due to reoffending while on bail.
The court rejected the Crown’s reliance on R. v. Jeyakanthan, finding it unpersuasive and inconsistent with Supreme Court precedent, and awarded 1.5:1 credit for all pre-sentence custody.
The global sentence imposed was 460 days, reflecting aggravating and mitigating factors, with probation and ancillary orders.
