The offender was convicted of being an accessory after the fact to an armed robbery committed by her son, having disposed of a sweater he wore during the crime.
The Crown sought a 12-month sentence, while the defence requested a sentence of less than six months to preserve the offender's right to appeal a potential removal order under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
The court applied a 1:1 credit for 157 days of pre-trial custody to avoid the draconian immigration consequences, sentencing the offender to one day in jail and 18 months of probation.
