Appellant

Procedural Posture

Criminal Appeal / Appeal Against Sentence

  1. 1 Whether the sentence was manifestly excessive
  2. 2 Appropriate disposition for a juvenile offender (training centre vs reform centre vs imprisonment)
  3. 3 Weight to be given to aggravating factors: reoffending on bail, prior record and lack of remorse

Ratio Decidendi

The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the training centre order because the sentence was neither manifestly excessive nor legally erroneous given the seriousness of handling proceeds from a phone‑scam targeting an elderly victim, the appellant's repeated reoffending (including offences while on bail and disciplinary breaches in custody), lack of remorse, and the greater rehabilitative utility of a longer training centre order for this juvenile offender.

Court Disposition

appeal dismissed; original sentence upheld

Orders

  • Appeal dismissed
  • Order that appellant be detained in a training centre is maintained
