    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC8/2010

    The court held that although the sentencing judge's starting point and aggravating assessment were within an arguable range and the two conspiracies merited consecutive sentences in principle, the totality of 10 years 8 months was excessive; the appropriate global sentence is 9 years 6 months achieved by ordering 3 years 2 months of the second sentence to run consecutively to the 6 years 4 months from the first and the remainder concurrent, thereby correcting totality without finding impermissible double-counting.
