    CACC318/2011

    The Court held the 30 month sentence was not excessive because the applicant's conduct fell within the high culpability range due to his knowing participation in a planned, contracted joint enterprise to assault victims (he foreseen cuts and bruises), his vital role as getaway driver using false plates and receipt of reward; these aggravating features justified a starting point close to the statutory maximum and warranted dismissal of the appeal.
