The 74-year-old accused was convicted of assault causing bodily harm against his wife.
At the time of the offence, he was on full parole for the second-degree murder of his previous wife.
The Crown sought 5-7 years, while the defence sought time served.
The court found that the accused was not entitled to credit for pre-sentence custody because his incarceration was related to his parole revocation for the prior murder conviction, not the current offence.
The court sentenced the accused to two years plus one day in a penitentiary, emphasizing denunciation, deterrence, and the protection of the victim.
