R v Altinok [2015] NSWDC 419

R v Altinok [2015] NSWDC 419

The court imposed an aggregate sentence reflecting the seriousness of the offences, particularly the domestic violence and persistent offending while on conditional liberty, mitigated by the offender's youth and early guilty plea. A non-parole period of 2.5 years (to have commenced 27 May 2015) and a head sentence of 5 years were imposed to appropriately reflect both totality and deterrence considerations.
