R v Bayliss [2020] NSWDC 769

R v Bayliss [2020] NSWDC 769

The offender, having committed a violent home invasion armed with a firearm and knife and caused serious injuries to the victims, is to be sentenced taking account of the objective seriousness of the offences, his deprived background reducing moral culpability, poor prospects of rehabilitation, and special circumstances supporting an extended parole period. An aggregate sentence is appropriate due to partial accumulation and totality. Special circumstances justify variation of the non-parole period ratio.
