David Cohn Criminal Lawyer Launches Mandatory Sentencing Provisons Awareness Campaign
Canada offers mandatory sentencing provisions for numerous firearms offenses, yet some provisions have now been struck down by appeals courts. For example, the Ontario Appeal Court found, in a 2013 ruling, that the three-year mandatory minimum sentence imposed on those found possessing a loaded prohibited weapon is actually unconstitutional as it constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. When one is charged with a firearms offense, he or she needs legal representation immediately, and David Cohn Law stands ready to assist those who wish to fight their arrest.
