Criminal Law - Topic 5855
Sentence - Robbery - [See Criminal Law - Topic 8814 ].
Criminal Law - Topic 8806
Young offenders - Decisions (incl. punishments) - Sentencing considerations - A young offender appealed a sentence of 30 months' secure custody for robbery - The offence was serious, premeditated, committed by a gang, involved weapons and violence - The Manitoba Court of Appeal stated that "[i]n sentencing an offender for an offence such as this, public protection is paramount ... not only from an unwarranted attack, but also from the fear of it. ... Although deterrence to others is less of a goal in the case of a young offender, it remains a factor in a group crime such as this. ... A lengthy term of secure custody is therefore in order" - See paragraphs 17 to 26.
Criminal Law - Topic 8814
Young offenders - Decisions (incl. punishments) - Secure custody - A young offender appealed a sentence of 30 months' secure custody for robbery - He and a companion viciously beat the victim in order to steal a skate board - A probation officer testified that the young offender stated that the victim's serious injuries were his own fault, because he should have given up his skate board - The young offender denied making the statement - The Manitoba Court of Appeal stated that the Youth Court judge erred in finding that the young offender had made the statement and in considering it in deciding the sentence, because the Crown is required to prove any aggravating factors that are to be considered in sentencing - The court reduced the sentence to 24 months' secure custody.
