R v Perrie Michael Fisher
Although the sentencing judge erred in categorising the offence as Category 1A, the sentence imposed was justified by the presence of multiple Category B culpability factors, significant harm factors, and the statutory aggravating factor of racial motivation. The resulting sentence was not manifestly excessive, and no unfair disparity arose from comparison with sentences imposed on co-defendants.
