R v Rabbit, 2023 ABCA 170 (CanLII), par curiam	AB	CA		" an aboriginal man who was under the influence of drugs attacked a woman who was picking up her children from day care. The victim tried to get away, but Mr. Rabbit grabbed her head, slammed her to the ground, got on top of her and began strangling her with both hands. He continued strangling and punching her for over four minutes. Two of the victim's three children, ages six and eight, observed the assault through the glass door of the daycare and cried hysterically. Mr. Rabbit had significant Gladue factors, plead guilty and expressed remorse. The sentencing judge acknowledged the appellant's Gladue factors were significant but held at paragraph 17 that "where the offences are violent and serious, the principal [sic] of restraint and an acknowledgement of the lessened moral blameworthiness of an individual with significant Gladue factors cannot justify a sentence that ignores the seriousness of the offences and the harm done to the victim". The trial judge sentenced him to nine years in jail. ... In the end, the Court of Appeal reduced Mr. Rabbit’s sentence from nine years to four years, because of all the mitigating factors, which included significant Gladue factors, which had not been properly taken into account by the sentencing judge. There is some similarity to the case at bar, in that the Court of Appeal found that Mr. Rabbit had responded to his losses by increasing his drug use and was under the influence of drugs when he attacked the victim. The Court of Appeal stated that those factors diminished his moral blameworthiness." (Quoting from R c Small Legs, 2023 ABCJ 236 (CanLII)) Trouver des résumés de cas.

The accused entered a dwelling armed with a shotgun and fired at two individuals, one of whom was struck on the leg, narrowly missing the femoral artery, the other being struck in the elbow. The parties had argued earlier in the evening. Both victims were left with scarring and pellets embedded in the surrounding tissue. The accused had some work history. He had been a heavy drug user and had previously committed drug offences, two assaults, uttering threats and mischief. The Supreme Court justice determined 5 years incarceration to be fit and appropriate for each of the aggravated assaults. After consideration of the other offences, concurrency and totality, the judge imposed a global sentence of 10 years." (Quoting from R c MacEvoy, 2023 NSPC 59 (CanLII)) Trouver des résumés de cas.

The offender, without warning, stabbed the victim in the chest in a residence. The knife penetrated 5.7 centimetres, slitting the brachiocephalic vein. The victim collapsed and struck his head. He suffered an inter-cranial bleed and a craniotomy was required. The offender was 26 years old, had substance misuse, and a record for violence.

The assault occurred after the two men came across each other in a back alley and the victim wanted a drink of Mr. Ratt's whiskey. While the men knew each other, no provocation is evident from the record - other than the victim wanted a drink of Mr. Ratt's alcohol. An aggravating factor was Mr. Ratt's preceding 15-year history of unrelenting violence and use of weapons toward members of his community, notwithstanding multiple opportunities for rehabilitation. While the Court acknowledged that Mr. Ratt had experienced a traumatic and dysfunctional upbringing, the Court concluded that, his Gladue[1] factors had only a marginal impact on the determination of a fit sentence because of his relentless history of violent offending and the extent to which he had already been given credit for such factors prior to sentencing. The Court of Appeal increased Mr. Ratt's sentence from 48 months to 5 ½ years." (Quoting from R c Kahmahkotayo, 2023 SKPC 36 (CanLII)) Trouver des résumés de cas.
R v Noltcho, 2021 SKCA 113 (CanLII), par Leurer JA	SK	CA	58 mois d'emprisonnement	"Mr. Noltcho went to the home of the victim and began drinking with him. At some point, Mr. Noltcho accused the victim of stealing money from him. Believing that the victim stole from him, Mr. Noltcho "came at" the victim, knocking him to the ground, and then repeatedly kicking him in the head and the body. The victim required 9 to 10 stitches to close wounds and has residual scars on his face following the assault. At the time of sentencing, Mr. Noltcho had 83 prior convictions over the preceding 26 years. Fourteen of these convictions were for violence. However, there had been a 7 year “gap” in Mr. Noltcho's record immediately prior to the incident. Again, despite Mr. Noltcho's Gladue factors and the gap in his record, the Court imposed a sentence of 58 months largely because of Mr. Noltcho's extensive criminal record."

R v Robinson, 2021 NSPC 20 (CanLII), par Buckle J	NS	PC	4 ans d'emprisonnement (Agg Assault)	the decision was "dealing with a conviction for aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and a breach. Her Honour reviewed the wide range of sentences available for the offence of aggravated assault. The accused was sentenced to four years in prison with concurrent time for both the remaining charges. Mr. Robinson was originally charged with attempted murder from a stabbing. The most aggravating feature in that case was Mr. Robinson's related criminal record." (Quoting from R c Dimock, 2021 NSSC 232 (CanLII)) "a dispute between two brothers with a history of animosity which boiled up into an aggravated assault. The accused stabbed the victim in the abdomen resulting in a small laceration to the liver. He likely would have done more damage had not a third brother intervened. the The accused admitted to the stabbing right afterwards, although the matter did proceed to trial. The victim had a slow recovery and suffered from psychological effects. The accused had a limited education and employment history and had been living with his mother. He had been released on a court undertaking yet sought out the victim the very next day. Further, he had a history of violent offences including simple assaults, and aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and assaulting a peace officer. Gladue factors were raised but were nebulous and of little effect. At par. 47 et seq the judge considers the moral blameworthiness of the accused vis-à-vis other offenders and canvasses the case law. The resulting sentence was 4 years incarceration, plus ancillary orders." (Quoting from R c MacEvoy, 2023 NSPC 59 (CanLII)) Trouver des résumés de cas.
R v Shand, 2021 NSSC 263 (CanLII), par Boudreau J	NS	SC	suspended	"the [Judge] handed down a suspended sentence for stabbing in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The victim and Mr. Shand were attempting to buy drugs and an argument ensued. The victim tried to flee, slipped on ice, and fell to the ground. As the victim lay vulnerable Mr. Shand took out a knife and stabbed the victim twice in the back which resulted in serious and traumatic injuries to the spinal cord. Like the facts at bar the victim of this stabbing was considered a vulnerable person. The court noted, in paragraph nine (9), that it appeared that the victim life was permanently changed for the worst." (Quoting from R c Thibault, 2023 NSPC 22 (CanLII)) Trouver des résumés de cas.

"The victim and the accused were consuming crack cocaine together and the accused demanded more money from the victim. They went to an ATM where the victim was unable to get the money and the accused struck the victim in the head repeatedly, causing a main artery in his head to sever. This caused extensive blood loss which would have been fatal without medical intervention, but had no lasting impact. The accused was 25 years old with a criminal record, including a few violent offences. He expressed remorse and was seeking educational options.

The offender's mother was an alcoholic, resulting in him spending time in foster care during his childhood. He also fell into a pattern of alcohol abuse that plagued him throughout his life. He is of Métis descent, although not connected to the community in any substantial way. The offender sustained two significant head injuries, leaving him with cognitive deficits and deficits in his executive functioning. He had a significant criminal record, with 39 prior convictions.

He had a grade 9 education and a daughter from a prior relationship. He had an extensive criminal record, particularly as a youth, with a prior conviction for aggravated assault. As an adult, he had prior convictions for robbery, assault and weapons offences. He frequently indulged in criminal activity to service his drug addiction. He was non-compliant while on probation. Although he did not assert self-defence at trial, he characterized the victim as the initial aggressor to the person who prepared a pre-sentence report.

This case involved young men who had been drinking and having a verbal confrontation with one another, culminating first in the victim striking the offender’s car at least once (presumably with a part of his body). The offender initially left the scene of the confrontation. When he later returned, he saw the victim standing in the street a few feet from the sidewalk and behind a parked car. The offender swerved toward the victim and struck him before leaving the scene. The victim sustained serious, life-threatening injuries, including a badly broken left leg, requiring emergency surgery, following which he developed a lung complication. In imposing imprisonment for 18 months as the appropriate sentence, the sentencing judge noted the offender’s youthfulness and what he described as “fairly minor offences” on his criminal record (Clarke, at para. 14)."
