The appellant appealed his global sentence of 76 months for robbery, dangerous driving, and other offences, arguing the sentencing judge failed to adequately consider his mental health issues.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal regarding the length of the sentence, noting the horrific circumstances of the home invasion robbery and the appellant's extensive criminal record.
However, the Court allowed the appeal in part to recalculate pre-trial custody credit at a 1.5:1 ratio and to vary a non-communication order, permitting the appellant to communicate with his co-accused partner upon her written consent after her sentence expires.
