Criminal law 2019 NLCA 43

R. v. Roberts

Leave granted; sentencing judge correctly reduced the Pharmacy Solutions sentence to 24 months for totality based primarily on unusually strong rehabilitative evidence but erred in making that reduced 24‑month sentence concurrent with the unexpired Hayloft sentence without proper s.718.3(4) consideration and adequate balancing of denunciation/deterrence; court set aside concurrency and ordered the reduced 24‑month sentence to be served consecutively to the Hayloft sentence; lifetime firearms prohibition upheld as a valid discretionary order despite errors about its mandatory status.

  • Concurrent vs consecutive sentences
  • Sentencing for multiple offences
