Judge believes five years is a, "longer sentence". For a career criminal. We know the victim who hasn't been able to work since he stabbed her.
"Kamloops provincial court Judge Mariane Armstrong went along with a joint submission for a five-year prison sentence less time served, plus a two-year probation order and a lifetime firearms prohibition.
“Not all robberies are the same,” she said.
“Some robberies are just a note handed to a bank teller, some robberies are a threat — ‘Give me the money or else’ — and some robberies occur where the threat is actually realized, and those are the robberies that attract the longer sentences, and rightfully so.”
Once he is given credit for time served, Fernandez has 602 days — about 20 months — remaining on his five-year sentence."
