A Calgary police officer turned in his own son after recognizing photos of the suspect in a machete attack on a CTrain platform, a judge was told today.
Connor Dery, 26, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, breaching a release order and taking a motor vehicle without consent in the 2021 incident.
Prosecutor Shivani Naidu-Barrett asked for a two-year sentence followed by two years probation. Defence lawyer Adriano Iovinelli proposed a 19-month sentence — equal to the time Dery has already served — plus three years probation.
Justice Brian Stevenson will make his ruling on a sentence next month.
