R v Jason Joseph JOHNSON [2010] NSWDC 242

R v Jason Joseph JOHNSON [2010] NSWDC 242

The seriousness of each individual offence—drug supply, proceeds of crime, and prohibited firearms possession—required deterrent sentences. Guilty pleas and subjective circumstances justified a reduction. The effective sentence reflects the interrelatedness of some offences, the principle of totality, and an overall sentence not disproportionate to the conduct.
