At the time, the facts of the case were not confirmed on the record, and sentencing was set for Tuesday. According to Judge Claude Haché, victim impact statements were arranged, and the man was sent for a pre-sentence report, which is an account of a defendant's background and personal circumstances based on an interview with a probation services officer.
"The Crown's not dragging their feet at all, this is technological evidence," Campbell said, saying if the man wanted to plead not guilty, they would need three to four weeks of trial. Haché said the man's"jeopardy is a serious one" with the charges and that he has a right to defend himself. The judge offered the man a chance to change his plea, and the man insisted that he wished to plead guilty.
