The defendant was convicted of three counts of trafficking in crack cocaine.
The court imposed a sentence of three years on count one (trafficking nine ounces), concurrent on count two (trafficking three ounces), and one year consecutive on count three (trafficking 2.1 ounces with co-accused).
The defendant received 1.5 days credit for each day of pre-trial custody.
A 109 order for ten years and a non-communication order with respect to a co-accused were also imposed.
The sentencing balanced denunciation and deterrence as primary objectives with proportionality and rehabilitation considerations, given the defendant's youth and first penitentiary sentence.
