The following excerpt is from R. v. J.B., 2018 ONSC 5555 (CanLII):
In R v. Zegarac, [2011] O.J. No. 6491, the accused was sentenced for an assault bodily harm and an assault. He attacked his wife while she was holding his baby and threatened to kill her. He punched her several times in the head and struck the baby. At the time of the offence he was on two probation orders. He had prior convictions for assault with a weapon, assault and utter threats against another former partner. He also had prior convictions for criminal harassment and other charges in relation to a different partner. On that basis alone the case is distinguishable from the case before me. He received a sentence of just over two years. Analysis and Conclusion:
