View printable version

Assault, perverting the course of justice and grievous bodily harm - application for leave to appeal against sentence - where the evidence was fairly strong, a discount of 25% for a guilty plea would not be interfered with - sentences in respect of separate victims but at the same time and part of the same incident should have been concurrent and not consecutive - the two consecutive sentences each of two years replaced by concurrent sentences each of four years - totality principle - aggregate sentence on de Garis reduced from 8 years to 7 years.
