The defendant was sentenced for multiple counts of residential break and enter.
The court imposed a 21-month custodial sentence (net 15 months and 10 days after pre-sentence custody credit) followed by three years probation.
The sentence balanced denunciation and public protection with the defendant's personal circumstances, including her late-onset criminal activity (beginning at age 49-50), underlying heroin addiction, and lack of prior record before 2007.
The court rejected a conditional sentence as inappropriate given the number of residences involved and the serious impact on victims.
Probation conditions included non-association orders, geographic restrictions, mandatory substance abuse and counselling programs, restitution obligations, weapons prohibition, and DNA sampling.
Victim surcharges of $1,000 were imposed with five years to pay.
