Find it semi amusing the crown wants further jailtime (over time served since arrest) for this guy, even after he pled guilty and accepted responsibility. They also want probation and him to make a $7,500 donation to Canadian Cancer Society.

The guy is pretty much trash morally, but I'd say he's paid his dues. Guy got beaten up while in jail and has spent 3 months in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day since then. Assuming he'll get probation either way, I'd be comfortable saying the Justice system did its job (which I don't think I've ever said about Canada) if they let him out once sentencing verdict comes down (another month).
I don't see why getting beaten in jail should factor in for whether or not he gets a jail sentence. If it did, then every mouthy d-bag who gets their butt kicked in jail should be released.

I don't know if jail is the answer here or not, but he should definitely have to make $7,500 donation to charity and probation goes without saying.
