A man who beat his adversary’s mother with a baseball bat during a violent home invasion in northern B.C. was given a provincial sentence of two years less a day, as the judge found he had turned his life around dramatically since committing the crimes.

Craig Brentton Durando pleaded guilty to breaking and entering, assault with a weapon and robbery following the September 2023 incident in Terrace. His sentenced was handed down in B.C. Supreme Court earlier this week.

The court heard that Durando and four other friends planned to confront and assault a man named Nicolas Balatti in his home after Balatti and one of the friends got into a “verbal altercation involving mutual threats” at a house party in August of that year, and continued the argument over TikTok and Snapchat.
