The offender pleaded guilty to manslaughter after setting up a home invasion robbery during which the victim was shot and killed by a co-accused.
The Crown and defence jointly submitted a sentence of 7 years imprisonment but disagreed on the quantum of pre-sentence custody credit for lockdowns and COVID-19 conditions.
The court accepted the joint submission of 7 years and granted 55 months of pre-sentence credit, including 8 months of enhanced credit for staffing-related lockdowns and pandemic conditions, resulting in a remaining sentence of 2 years and 5 months.
