A woman who oversaw a sophisticated drug operation in Saskatoon has been sentenced after pleading guilty to several drug-related charges.
Anita Favreau, 44, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for trafficking thousands of dollars’ worth of cocaine and meth.
She is also the subject of a firearms prohibition and a DNA order.
The Crown lowered the sentence it was seeking, from nine years to eight, after Favreau testified in court and new information was brought to their attention.
But the judge felt Favreau was unlikely to re-offend and she has taken significant strides to improve her life.
“He (the judge) had a difficult decision to make with respect to balancing what is very serious offences with some very mitigating personal circumstances of Miss. Favreau,” Crown prosecutor Stacey Cameron said.
“I think that he was able to balance those factors and we respect the decision of the judge.”
According to the judge, Favreau’s life reached a turning point after she witnessed the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old man during a botched home invasion on Garrison Crescent in 2015.
