The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to prove she suffered prejudice from the alleged failure to rely on Father Wotherspoon's letter: the information was not shown to be of practical use, the judge had already given a substantially lower sentence than guideline arithmetic would yield, and any allowance for participation in the campaign is discretionary, requires properly adduced evidence and at most attracts a token discount; therefore no interference with the 14‑year sentence was warranted.
