R v Harry Benson

The original sentence was unduly lenient as it failed to reflect the seriousness of the offence, the multiple aggravating factors, and did not apply a sufficient uplift for the weapons offences. The mitigation was limited and did not justify the reduction applied. The appropriate sentence after trial should have been at least 7.5 years, reduced by 15% for guilty plea to 6 years, 3 months.
