BETWEEN
Her Majesty The Queen
Appellant
and
Justin Albert Nolin
Respondent
James K. Stewart, for the appellant
Steven Dallal, for the respondent
Heard and endorsed: March 20, 2012
On appeal from sentence imposed on April 29, 2011 by Justice Melvyn Green of the Ontario Court of Justice.
APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1The sentence imposed was extremely lenient given the nature of the offences and the respondent’s record for violence. That said, we have not been persuaded that the sentence is manifestly inadequate. The trial judge had the benefit of a compelling Gladue report and was entitled to give considerable weight to the restorative justice principles.
2Accordingly, while leave to appeal sentence is granted, the appeal is dismissed.
