After guilty pleas to drug trafficking counts, the court imposed three concurrent three-year sentences, credited 299 days of pre-trial custody, and ordered probation and ancillary relief.
The Supreme Court of Canada restored a criminal-organization conviction but upheld the quashing of a possession-for-trafficking conviction for lack of nexus to the seized drugs.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the trial judge's application of sentencing principles and concluded the eight-year sentence for conspiracy to traffic and the concurrent eight-year sentence for possession for purpose of trafficking were not excessively lenient; accordingly leave to appeal was granted but the appeal was dismissed and the sentences were upheld.
