The Court held that the aggregate sentence of nine years was excessive for offences arising from the same incident; it increased the individual sentences on the fourth and fifth charges from five to seven years but ordered all sentences to run concurrently so the appropriate total sentence was seven years, balancing seriousness (attempted shooting of a police officer) with the appellant's youth and clear record.
