Jeffrey Knott

Appellant

Vanessa Christie, for the appellant

G. Choi, for the respondent

On appeal from the sentence imposed on December 1, 2010
    by Justice J.G. Lebel of the Ontario Court of Justice, sitting without a jury.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

In our view there was ample justification before the trial judge for the
    sentence he imposed. Ms. Christie candidly acknowledges that she relies only on
    the fresh evidence. In our view it would not have altered the sentence imposed,
    particularly given the appellants horrendous record.

[2]

Moreover, it appears that the appellants treatment needs many be able
    to be met in the federal system at the Kingston Regional Treatment Centre. It
    may well be desirable for the federal authorities to consider that for the appellant.
