Man loses appeal for seven-year sentence and dangerous offender status for assault and threats.

The appeal argued that the trial judge erred in assessing his conduct as intractable and repetitive, but the Appeal Court found the sentence and a ten-year supervision order fit, given his extensive criminal record.
