The Court refused leave to appeal because the trial judge applied correct sentencing principles: a 12‑year starting point, a one‑third reduction for the guilty plea, a further one‑year reduction for assistance, and a justified consecutive two‑year order, resulting in a lawful total of nine years; the trial judge properly denied a good character discount because of a prior conviction; the sentences were not wrong in principle nor manifestly excessive.
