On appeal from the sentence imposed by Justice Rutherford on January 10, 2003.
A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
2The serious nature of this offence was such that a period of substantial incarceration would have been warranted even given the passage of time (20 years) and the respondent’s positive lifestyle during that time.
3However, given that the respondent has successfully completed 9 months of the conditional sentence, we are not prepared to interfere with the sentence imposed by the trial judge.
4We encourage the respondent to complete the rest of his sentence in a spirit of co-operation which the trial judge no doubt anticipated.
5The appeal is dismissed.
