That is harsh simply for the fact that you have been on house arrest for that long. I would ask my lawyer that what my damn house arrest counted for nothing that is like being in jail for a couple of years in itself except u still have the luxury a of home.

 

[wrinkles88]

So I was right when I said it was for the firearms possession not the pot.
I take it you don't have your firearms licence, and you were caught with over a QP?

 

[Jonny Lan]

yes and i had no drugs on me incident to arrest. cops where looking for me on the trafficking and it turned out someone i was dealing with was a cop… my lawyer was able to beat the trafficking on the basis of entrapment. officers of the law are not allowed to encourage you to engage in an offense you would otherwise not commit. i had no criminal record and he pretty much made me traffic to him. he had no reason to assume i was a dealer so my lawyer beat thAT up...

Man i pray your right… u were right about my buds getting there stink! starting to smell like chronic in the room my tent is in lol.
why do u feel i will get probation?

 

[Nadicus_Maximus]

Hey man, first thanks for the details...was it just one gun or did you have an arsenal? I really think based on your story that you have already gone through enough. I think you'll get far less that what you are thinking...likely probation.

 

[DJXX]

do you have prior charges....you said you have been on house arrest...i have been in trouble before in the US...not Canada...but usually the first time being sentenced they give probation..in the US anyways...do you have a paid attorney or is it a public defender...if its a second charge you might have to sit down a bit...showing that you are a decent citizen will help your case...good luck DJXX

So basically in march 2011 I was arrested for firearm possession and trafficking. I've been on house arrest since. I had a trial for these things in April. I beat the trafficking charges but the firearm stuck. I am being sentenced next month in august and that day if I am given time I will be apprehended on the spot. The crown is asking for 2+ my lawyer is asking for prohibition. I'm PRAYING that worst case scenario I get 2 less a day if I do get time...

By house arrest do you mean released on recognizance with a heavy curfew or were you actually sentenced to some home time?

 

[growshopfrank]

i Plan to appeal but my lawyer informs me that i have to wait until my sentencing date which is in August.

If I were in your shoes I would have my council working on that now js

 

[Jonny Lan]

I'm in Canada and no priors. Only one firearm.

Recognizance and my lawyer said that this is just how the process goes and I have to wait till I'm sentenced. My lawyer used to work under Clayton Ruby and now has here own firm. She doesn't usually except legal aid but really felt for me case so took it on.

that's good news
having a lawyer that cares about you and your case makes a huge difference in how you get treated by the courts

 

[blastfrompast]

I'm guessing it was a RESTRICTED weapon...IE a handgun, AR, etc.

If so...I would PRAY for a miracle...


If it was just a .22 from grandpa....no worries mate.

yep restricted firearms carry a mandatory sentence BUT there have been a couple of cases in the media of late where the judge has gone against the MM sentencing

 

[morningdewd]
