R v Papuni [2019] NSWDC 269

R v Papuni [2019] NSWDC 269

The offender is sentenced for robbery in company, having pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and shown remorse, with objective seriousness below mid-range and aggravating factors including violence and offence in the victim's home. Given rehabilitation prospects and absence of standard non-parole period, an intensive corrections order for eighteen months is appropriate.
