    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC379/2013

    The 30-month starting point for charge 1 was not manifestly excessive given the applicant's persistent previous convictions, the commission of the offence in a crowded public place and joint action with another offender; the trial judge properly applied a guilty plea discount and was entitled to order consecutive sentences because the offences were separate in time and the applicant absconded and committed further offences, therefore the total 36‑month sentence was not manifestly excessive.
