In that case, the mitigating factors and aggravating circumstances were quite significant. The accused had been in pre-sentence custody, suffered a number of assaults, and was expecting that this would happen again with the period of imprisonment. The accused was engaged in a period of outside treatment and from the very beginning—there was no prior criminal record—took responsibility for his actions. In that case, the court provided a fairly good listing of the factors to be considered.
