A Brantford man failed to persuade a “tired” judge with his apology after pleading guilty to robbing two pharmacies while brandishing a handgun.

Gethin B. Edward of the Ontario Court of Justice said in a withering judgement that he was not impressed with Kevin Couture’s apology and had heard enough apologies that did little to mend the harm caused.

“I’m tired of this same old song and dance,” the exasperated Justice told the court while issuing his ruling.
