The appellant pleaded guilty to robbery with a firearm and being disguised with intent to commit an indictable offence following a home invasion.
He was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment.
On appeal, the appellant argued the trial judge erred in finding that the sentencing range for home invasions had increased from five to eight years to seven to eleven years.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that sentencing ranges are flexible guidelines that have evolved to reflect the gravity of home invasions.
The eight-year sentence was found to be fit given the terrorizing nature of the offence and the need for denunciation and deterrence.
