R. v. Morris

The court accepted the joint recommendation and imposed two years' federal custody because Mr. Morris's participation was limited, he demonstrated remorse and long‑term sobriety, compliance with conditions, stable employment, and these mitigating factors made the joint recommended sentence fit and just; ancillary orders for a 10‑year weapons prohibition and a DNA order were imposed as statutorily authorized.

Criminal law 2016 ONCA 491

R. v. Cunha

The trial judge committed reversible errors by applying hindsight and an unrealistic standard of perfection, by imposing a blanket credibility rejection without nuance, and by failing to assess the entire tableau of evidence including the presence of an armed third party, such that his findings on the elements of self-defence were unreasonable and a new trial is required.

  • Self-defence
  • Aggravated assault
  • Firearm discharge
  • Credibility findings
  • Appellate review of factual findings
  • Mandatory minimum sentence
