R v Warren Waldrom

R v Warren Waldrom

None of the proposed grounds of appeal have arguable merit; the sentencing judge properly applied the totality principle, correctly disregarded inadmissible material, accurately categorised the offence, and the absence of a psychological report did not affect the judge's findings or sentence.
