COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO
RE: HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Respondent) v. STEPHEN GILL (Appellant)
BEFORE: DOHERTY, ROSENBERG and ARMSTRONG JJ.A.
COUNSEL:
James A. Ermacora for the appellant
C. Tier for the respondent
HEARD & ENDORSED: May 30, 2003
On appeal from the sentence imposed by Justice N.S. Douglas of the Superior Court of Justice on February 20, 2002.
A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
1A conditional sentence was not appropriate given the seriousness of the offences and the appellant’s demonstrated disregard for the spirit, if not the letter of court orders.
2The sentence was not manifestly unfit. The offences were serious and terrorized the appellant’s former wife and many people around her, including school officials and family court personnel.
3The post-sentence report is equivocal and provides no basis upon which to interfere with the sentence imposed.
4The appeal is dismissed.
