Citation: R. v. Park Date: 20131216 2013 BCPC 0359 File No: 61815-1 Registry: Chilliwack IN THE PROVINCIAL COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA REGINA v. JAMES ALEXANDER PARK ORAL REASONS FOR SENTENCE OF THE HONOURABLE JUDGE MacKAY Counsel for the Crown: P.J. Beirne Counsel for the Accused: M. Swartz Place of Hearing: Chilliwack , B.C. Date of Hearing: December 16, 2013 Date of Judgment: December 16, 2013 [ 1 ] THE COURT : This is a joint submission. I have been apprised of all the circumstances. Indeed they have been made well

clear by the admission of the video. This began as a trial. Mr. Park has changed his plea to guilty to Count 3. [ 2 ] I agree with the observations made that there might have been as much given as gotten to put it that way in this altercation. [ 3 ] Having regard to all the circumstances, it appears to me that a three-month sentence is appropriate. The sentence will, therefore, be three months. It will be concurrent to the present sentence being served. I expect that will not affect your statutory release date therefore. [ 4 ] Mr. Beirne, is there a surcharge on this? [ 5 ] MR.

BEIRNE : Yes. [ 6 ] THE COURT : There is. It is before the date, so I will waive it under the circumstances. [ 7 ] MR. BEIRNE : Thank you. [ 8 ] MR. SWARTZ : Thank you, Your Honour. “R.C. MacKay J.” Provincial Court Judge
