TWYLA MAE ANDREWS v. REGINA

Appellant appeared in person
Mr. A. Smellie for the Crown

25th June, 1984

Zacca, P.:

You have abandoned the appeal against conviction. The order of the Court is that the appeal against conviction is dismissed.

We propose allowing the appeal against sentence in part and we will reduce the eighteen months' imprisonment to one of twelve months, but the fine will remain, so that, if the fine is paid and if you are given time off for good behaviour, we are now in June, your release may be almost immediate. Be very careful in the future, don't allow yourself to get involved in this type of offence.

The appeal against conviction is dismissed.

Appeal against sentence is allowed, the sentence of imprisonment varied to one of one year.
