Question juridique clé
Whether the 3-year sentence was unlawful or an abuse of sentencing discretion
Solution extraite
The sentencing court properly weighed the seriousness of the dangerous conduct, the defendant's prior record, his attitude after the offense, and the limited mitigating factors; the sentence was not unusually high.
Motifs extraits
The Federal Court found no misapplication of the sentencing framework, no reliance on irrelevant factors, and no failure to consider relevant circumstances. The danger created by a high-speed collision on a highway, the defendant's recidivism in traffic matters, and the lack of remorse justified a severe penalty.
