The offender pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, and breach of probation after stabbing a victim multiple times in a mall.
The Crown sought a dangerous offender designation and an indeterminate sentence.
The court reviewed the offender's extensive criminal record, psychiatric profile, and expert evidence regarding treatability and risk management.
The court declined to designate the offender as a dangerous offender, finding that the risk to the public could be managed in the community with strict conditions.
The offender was designated a long-term offender and sentenced to a 14-year determinate term (less 7 years pre-trial custody credit) followed by a 10-year long-term supervision order.
