APPEAL COURT TO HEAR GUELPH ROBOCALLS CASE SENTENCE

The Waterloo Region Record on May 17/16 carried the following story "Appeal Court will hear case of the Guelph robocalls scandal". The convicted person, Michael Sona, is attempting to have the nine month jail sentence reduced. The Crown of course are trying to have it extended. Mr. Sona was 22 years old at the time of the offense and is now 26. His lawyer feels that the principles of deterrence and denunciation do not require nine months in jail. I tend to agree for a first offence. That said any second conviction then all bets are off.
