Shiloh Pettipas-Lizak pleaded guilty to pointing a firearm at his girlfriend.
The court considered aggravating factors, including the domestic context, the presence of children, the sustained nature of the threat, and the victim's lasting psychological harm, alongside mitigating factors such as the offender's genuine remorse, significant rehabilitative efforts over six years, stable employment, sobriety, and reconnection with his children.
The court found that a conditional sentence was appropriate given the unique circumstances, including the judicial error that led to separate sentencing proceedings.
A conditional sentence of 21 months was imposed, with house arrest for the first seven months, followed by a curfew, along with other conditions, a lifetime section 109 order, and a DNA order.
