The appellant appealed his dangerous offender designation and indeterminate sentence, arguing the sentencing judge failed to properly consider reducing his risk through chemical castration.
He sought a long-term offender designation combined with a section 810.2 recognizance.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant's condition intractable and that he could not be controlled within the duration of a long-term sentence.
The Court reaffirmed that a section 810.2 order cannot be used as a stop-gap for highly dangerous offenders who fail to meet the long-term offender criteria.
