R v Reardon

In the matter of the Queen versus Reardon, the applicant appealed against his sentence after being found guilty of unlawfully supplying heroin to a person within a correctional facility. The applicant, who has a minor criminal history related to drug dependence, was sentenced to six months imprisonment. The primary legal issue before the court was whether the sentence imposed was manifestly excessive. The court examined the principles of sentencing and the nature of the offence to determine if the sentence was disproportionate. The court found that the sentence was within the appropriate range for the offence, considering the circumstances and the applicant's criminal history. The appeal against the sentence was dismissed.
