The Court refused leave to appeal: the sentencing judge's chosen starting points (12 years for count three, 5 years for count five, 15 years for count six) and the one-third reduction for guilty pleas were within the proper judicial discretion; any extra discount for the victim not testifying is discretionary and not mandatory; the judge was entitled to consider the pregnancy and the full course of offending when fixing the sentence for count six; the 12-year aggregate sentence complied with the totality principle and was not manifestly excessive.
