The offender pleaded guilty to multiple serious firearms and drug trafficking offences stemming from two separate incidents, the second of which occurred while he was on bail for the first.
The court found the offender was a commercial drug trafficker using firearms as tools of the trade, necessitating a sentence emphasizing denunciation and deterrence.
Applying the totality principle and accounting for harsh pre-sentence custody conditions, the court imposed a global sentence of 10.5 years imprisonment, less credit for time served.
