Sounds about right these days.
VANCOUVER — A lawyer for a former Air Canada baggage handler convicted of trying to smuggle 50 kilograms of cocaine through the Vancouver Airport has argued his client could receive a conditional sentence.
In November, a British Columbia Supreme Court jury found Steven Robert Von Holtum, 47, guilty of importing $1.2 million worth of cocaine in December 2007.
Von Holtum, who was fired from his job following his arrest, was caught trying to remove four unclaimed suitcases that had arrived on an Air Canada charter from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Arguing this was a serious breach of trust, a prosecutor called for an 18-year jail term.
