R v Lloyd [2022] NSWSC 906

R v Lloyd [2022] NSWSC 906

The offending sits above the mid-range of objective seriousness due to brutality, breach of a domestic violence order, and the context of longstanding abusive and controlling conduct. Aggravating factors include use of two weapons, commission at victim's home, breach of an ADVO, and relevant criminal history. Offender's disadvantaged background slightly reduces moral culpability. Plea of guilty entitles offender to a 25% discount. Strong general and personal deterrence and denunciation required.
