HaltonRecycles HaltonRecyclesHaltonRecycles.ca @HaltonRecycles to Georgetown purchasing marijuana along the way when he broke into the senior's resi- dence, Jago said. She referenced Hill's prior conviction for break and enter and convictions for violence offences. Reading from a psychological evaluation of Hill, Jago said it was determined he had a 76 per cent chance of re-offending within a year of release. The report also stated he suffered from schizoaffective disorder, antisocial person- ality disorder and his mental function was between borderline and mild disability. A victim impact statement provided by the senior's son stated since the incident she was very nervous staying home alone. Due to her unease she's moved out of her daugh- ter's Georgetown home and in with her son in Toronto. "Her sleep and diet have been impacted," said Jago. Jago said a police offi cer suffered a cut to his hand, a sore kneecap and bruised elbow during the incident. Hotz said, while it's clear prison time is required, he believes a four-year sentence over and above the time Hill has already served would be appropriate. "His criminal record is in no way lengthy," said Hotz, adding there had been "little criminal violence." Although the psychiatric evaluation found Hill to be at high risk to re-offend, Hotz said "he has not proven to be this type of person." "He has not shown himself to be a violent recidivist," said Hotz. He said Hill suffered a substance abuse problem and mental health defects and that he had been sexually abused as a child. Hotz said Hill had been able to form a re- lationship with a woman, had four children and had been employed sporadically. Hill's prime reason for entering the home, Hotz said, was to obtain food and money. "This was not a situation of pre-medita- tive entry into a home," Hotz said. He added when Hill found the senior in the home "he panicked and over-reacted." He said Hill required medical assistance and medicinal help, and the medication he's been on since he was in St. Joseph's Health- care where he was evaluated has been "help- ing him greatly." Ontario Court Justice Lesley Baldwin said the sexual abuse allegation hadn't been corroborated. Baldwin asked Hill, who stood through- out the entire proceeding and appeared to listen intently to what was discussed, if he had anything to say. "I'm just sorry for everything I've done to (the victim)," he said. Baldwin said the sentence "certainly won't be anything less (than the eight year range sought by the Crown), but it may re- quire more." Baldwin said they hadn't even touched upon Hill's "lifetime of fi re setting" and "cru- elty to animals" or the kicking of the victim's dog, pushing the victim or having her in a chokehold.
