The accused pleaded guilty to breaching the "no drugs" condition of his long-term supervision order by purchasing and using cannabis concentrate obtained on the street.
The court imposed a sentence of ten months, with one day additional custody after crediting 251 days of pre-trial custody at 1.5 to 1.
The decision provides comprehensive guidance on sentencing for breach of long-term supervision orders, emphasizing that rehabilitation remains a relevant sentencing objective and that the severity of a breach depends on all circumstances, including the nature of the condition breached and its relationship to risk management.
