R. v. C.S.

(unreported) – Client charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, resisting arrest and other charges began trial as an unrepresented accused.  The client agreed to plead guilty (without the assistance of a lawyer).  The Crown sought 3 years incarceration on the basis of the nature of the charge and the accused’s previous record (which included prior trafficking related offences).  Defence counsel was involved late in the proceedings.  The defence argued for a conditional sentence ordered.  Conditional sentence order granted.
