R v Casey Cameron [2016] NSWDC 172

R v Casey Cameron [2016] NSWDC 172

Having considered the seriousness of the offending, the offender's addiction-driven conduct, insight, remorse, rehabilitative steps, and statutory purposes of sentencing, the court found that no penalty other than imprisonment was appropriate. However, as the appropriate sentence was less than 2 years, and the offender was assessed as suitable, an Intensive Correction Order should be imposed in lieu of full-time custody.
