However, the judge pointed out that any case with an aboriginal offender needs to take into consideration the Gladue principle.

This is a report submitted by probation services that outlines any alternatives to incarceration for those of aboriginal descent.

However, Piche stated afterwards outside the court that he felt the report was unnecessary in this case.

The judge has ordered the report be submitted to the court by Sept. 8 so it can be reviewed by all parties.

The sentencing hearing has been pushed ahead to Sept. 25.
