Overview

• Stuart MacGill received a 22-month intensive corrections order and 495 hours of community service for facilitating a cocaine deal in April 2021.
• The court found that MacGill introduced his regular dealer to his partner’s brother, leading to the exchange of $330,000 for a kilogram of cocaine.
• MacGill was acquitted of the more serious charge of participating in a large commercial drug supply but was convicted of taking part in the supply of cocaine.
• Judge Nicole Noman SC emphasized MacGill’s indispensable role in facilitating the transaction, though he did not financially benefit from the deal.
• MacGill’s legal team is considering an appeal against both his conviction and the sentence, which includes mandatory drug testing.
