The appellant appealed his sentence of 9 years for attempted murder and 90 days consecutive for breach of probation, following 14 months of pre-trial custody.
The Court of Appeal found the effective sentence of over 11 years excessive, noting the offence was not planned and deliberate, and the appellant was intoxicated.
The Court also considered fresh evidence akin to a Gladue report detailing the appellant's abusive upbringing and progress in rehabilitation.
The sentence for attempted murder was reduced to 6 years, while the consecutive sentence for breach of probation was upheld.
