Louis Rosin remains under the care of a psychiatrist, but will not face any more jail time after receiving his sentence Friday at the Superior Court of Justice.
Rosin, 46, was arrested in January 2009 and was facing a total of 17 stolen property, drug and weapons charges.
On Tuesday he pleaded guilty to possession of Oxycodone for the purpose of trafficking and possession of stolen property. The other 15 charges were withdrawn by the Crown.
Police originally valued the property at about $150,000, but Rosin's lawyer Devin Bains has disputed that and said much of the property was not stolen.
Rosin was in prison from January 2009 to October 2010, and the court is counting that as 20 months served. Both the Crown and Bains agreed Rosin shouldn’t face further incarceration.
Justice Doug Shaw sentenced Rosin to six months in prison, four for the theft charge and two months for possession of the Oxycodone.
But Rosin’s time in custody pre-trial will be counted as time served and Shaw ordered Rosin to serve one day for each charge to be served concurrently. Since he was in custody of the court Friday, it would count as the one day.
Shaw said it is evident Rosin suffered from psychological and addiction problems and there was no evidence he tried to profit from the Oxycodone in his possession.
It is also evident Rosin needed to be surrounded by items in a hoarding manner, which Shaw said is reasonably related to the unusual amount of items found and seized by police from Rosin’s home.
All controlled substances seized by police are to be forfeited by Rosin and he is prohibited from possessing a firearm for 10 years.
Shaw said Rosin has issues and demons to deal with and wished him the best and said he hoped Rosin gets the attention he needs.
