Toronto Judge Sentences Brandon Caleb for Drug Trafficking, Considering Anti-Black Racism and Societal Challenges
A Toronto judge sentenced Brandon Caleb, a 39-year-old Black man, to four years and 160 days in prison for drug trafficking and possessing a loaded handgun while under a firearm ban. The judge considered Calebs upbringing in a low-income neighborhood marked by crime and gun violence, as well as his exposure to drugs and dealers at a young age. The Crown had sought a nine-year sentence, but the judge imposed a lower sentence, acknowledging the impact of systemic racism and societal challenges on Calebs life.
