Regina v Palinko [2005] NSWCCA 46

Regina v Palinko [2005] NSWCCA 46

The sentencing judge properly considered both objective and subjective features of the offences, allowed the full available discount for the early plea and admissions, and was justified in partially accumulating the sentences due to the greater planning and differing motives in the second offence. No error was demonstrated; leave to appeal was granted, but the appeal must be dismissed.
