Summary
Police and the courts were remarkably lenient with Adair especially considering his history of recidivism with thefts, frauds and assaults.
Detail
Recidivism is defined as the tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend.
Criminal patterns demonstrating recidivism are generally penalized by the courts with increasing severe sentences.
Two months before meeting Lisa, Adair was released from jail where he'd spent 10 months for Theft and Assault.[1]
| Offense committed | Conviction | Sentence | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Apr 24, 2000 | Credit Card Fraud | Mar 13, 2002 | Credit Card Fraud | Fine $500 | |

| Aug 23, 2002 | Assault of Peace Officer | Oct 11, 2002 | Assault of Peace Officer | Jail 1 day | |
| Aug 23, 2002 | Breach of CSO | Breach disappears | no punishment | ||
After Adair's fraud charge disappeared, the remaining charge of Theft earned him a sentence of only a 3-month CSO despite a long list of related prior convictions & incarcerations.[1]
A CSO is a "Conditional Sentence Order". All CSO's have 2 mandatory conditions:[2]
- Keep the peace (meaning, "don't break any more laws"), and,
- Don't leave the province.
However, 30 days into the 90-day order, he broke both of those conditions when he assaulted a police officer in Saskatchewan.[1][3][4] He was sentenced to just 1 day in jail[1] despite having a history of assault convictions in both BC and Alberta[5], and regardless of the fact this assault was a breach of terms of his CSO.[1]
