The offender pleaded guilty to robbery with a firearm, break and enter, and firearms offences following a home invasion.
The court considered the serious aggravating factors of the offence and the offender's prior record for armed robbery, balanced against mitigating factors including a guilty plea, remorse, and harsh pre-sentence custody conditions exacerbated by inadequate medical care for a urological issue.
The court accepted the joint submission of a 6.5-year global sentence and, after applying enhanced credit for pre-sentence custody and harsh conditions, sentenced the offender to a further 18 months in custody.
