A New Brunswick soldier accused of giving cannabis-laced cupcakes to troops on a live-fire training exercise has been found guilty of nine charges. Sandra Sukstorf delivered her decision over two hours to a full courtroom Wednesday morning at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B. The eight soldiers who ate the cupcakes said they felt paranoia, anxiety, fatigue, drunkenness and dry mouth starting about 30 minutes after eating the cupcakes. At the end of the proceedings Sukstorf addressed Cogswell directly, telling her that she would get through this. Sukstorf has the power to sentence Cogswell to the Canadian Forces Service Prison and Detention Barracks in Edmonton, if she sees fit.
