Too many judges already had heard Troy Wolfe’s speech “from the heart.”
The 34-year-old habitual criminal and getaway driver at the half-million-dollar Gordons Gold heist four years ago stood in the prisoner’s box at his sentencing hearing before Justice Bruce Thomas, the regional senior justice of the Superior Court, and vowed he had “lots of fight left in me, lots of hope, lots of purpose.”From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.
Thomas stayed quiet until Wolfe was finished. He said Wolfe was articulate and “you put forward a firm understanding of the plight of Indigenous people and the issues of reconciliation that need to be before the court.Article content Wolfe, Thomas said, had a criminal record with 29 adult offences, including two prior armed robberies and stints in prison. “You’ve been in what I would describe as a cyclical period of recidivism and re-offending. Every time you get out, you commit another offence.”Article content
Ireland, one of the masked men, entered a guilty plea in December 2020, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison and ordered to pay $162,500, a quarter of the loss. And the judge said he wanted to believe Wolfe and “I don’t want to discard you as a person in the system that is unworthy of my concern, my sympathy and my empathy.”
