The respondent was convicted of four weapons offences, including possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition and weapons trafficking, while subject to a weapons prohibition.
The sentencing judge imposed a one-year sentence plus two months of pre-trial custody, mistakenly believing only two offences carried a one-year minimum.
The Crown appealed the sentence.
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, finding the sentence fell markedly below the acceptable range for such serious weapons offences.
The sentence was varied to a total of two years less a day in addition to time served.
