Let's hope Martin isn't prescient, and the judge has some stones. Too much to hope for consecutive sentences, but at least give him at the upper end of the range for his crimes. I know his lawyer says he was only for a short period of time, but I have some doubts about that.
Generally, sentences for offences that occur at separate occasions will be served consecutively. While where the offences arise out of the same transaction, the sentences will be typically concurrent. If the court does not indicate whether sentences are concurrent or consecutive it is presumed concurrent.
Nevertheless, the decision of consecutive sentences is one entitled to deference.
Sentences may be imposed consecutively in relation to a single transaction where the punishments protect "different societal interests" or "different legal interests". A judge should consider the time frame within which the offences occurred, the similarity of the offences, whether a new intent or impulse initiated each of the offences and whether the total sentence is fit and proper under the circumstances.
When deciding whether a sentence should be consecutive or concurrent, the court should consider 1) the time frame of the offences, 2) the similarity of the offences, 3) whether a new intent broached each offence, and 4) whether the total sentence is fit and proper.
Certain sentences must be ordered to be served consecutively:
Commission of indictable offence to advantage a terrorist group (s. 83.2 and s. 83.26) Instructing activity for terrorist group (s. 83.21(1) and s. 83.26) Instructing terrorist activity (s. 83.22(1) and s. 83.26) Instructing commission of offence for criminal organization (s. 467.13(1) and s. 467.14)
But at least good on the conviction.
3 years, concurrent, double credit for time served means this terrorist will be out in a few months.
But at least good on the conviction.
....or did I miss something?
