v.
BRADLEY SCREEN
Reasons for Sentence

APPEARANCES:
B. McCallion Counsel for the Crown B. Moss Counsel for Bradley Screen
Monday, September 24, 2018
Reasons for Sentence
Fuerst J. : (Orally)
The seriousness of this offence cannot be ignored. It is an offence that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years.
The aggravating factors in the particular case include that Mr. Screen is not a first offender. He has a criminal record that dates back to 2009 and consists of multiple entries. Additionally, the amount of money that he obtained by the offence was considerable.
In mitigation, I take into account that Mr. Screen pleaded guilty. His plea is an admission of his guilt and an acceptance, on his part, of responsibility for his wrongdoing. I note that he pleaded guilty at a relatively early stage of the proceedings in the Superior Court.
He specifically instructed his lawyer that he wishes his sentence to be made consecutive to the sentence he is currently serving so that he goes now to the penitentiary.
In all of the circumstances, I accept the joint submission put to me by Crown and defence counsel.
Mr. Screen, would you please stand.
I sentence you, Mr. Screen, to eight months in jail to be served consecutively to the sentence you are currently serving. That sentence will be followed by 12 months of probation.
The conditions of probation are the statutory conditions plus the following. You will report immediately on your release to a probation officer and thereafter as required. You will have no contact, direct or indirect, with Kaila Weeks. You will not be within 100 metres of the place of residence, education, or employment of Kaila Weeks known to you. You will not possess weapons.
I make a DNA order and I impose the victim fine surcharge of $200.
THE COURT: With time to pay, Mr. Moss?
MR. MOSS: Given the length of time he’s likely to be incarcerated I might ask for 24 months, please, Your Honour.
THE COURT: Any objection, Mr. McCallion?
MR. MCCALLION: No, Your Honour.
THE COURT: Twenty-four months to pay the victim surcharge. You can be seated, sir.
