The court sentenced Brittani Hunter for two robberies and using an imitation weapon, imposing consecutive custody, probation, restitution, DNA, and firearm prohibitions.
The court lawfully imposed a 30-day sentence on the refusal count and applied a 30-day remand credit so the sentence is deemed served; the mandatory-minimum fine was thus obviated because remand credit equaled or exceeded the penalty; for remaining offences the court suspended sentence and imposed an 18-month probation with conditions focused on rehabilitation and public safety, and prohibited driving for 12 months; restorative sentencing principles and the offender's substance-use disorder justified a non-custodial disposition for the other counts.
