The accused was convicted after trial of possession of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine for the purposes of trafficking.
The Crown and Defence reached a joint submission for a sentence of 7.5 years, less credit for pre-trial custody and jail conditions mitigation, resulting in a net sentence of 7 years.
The court accepted the joint submission as fit, considering the gravity of the offences, the accused's personal circumstances including systemic disadvantage and social context, immigration consequences, and mitigating factors including harsh pre-trial incarceration conditions at Maplehurst.
