We are not satisfied that the appellant’s complaints regarding the conduct of his counsel, individually or cumulatively, resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
[2] The appellant also submits that the sentencing judge erred by giving him credit for pre‑sentence custody on a one-for-one basis when he should have received enhanced credit of 1.5‑for-one. The Crown concedes this ground of appeal, which is allowed.
