The Court of Appeal accepted that premeditation and serious injury justified a high starting point but held the sentencing judge overstated the upward adjustment for the aggravating feature of dissatisfaction with a court order; a one year upward adjustment from the comparable starting point was appropriate, yielding a starting point of 8 years and, after the guilty plea discount, a substituted sentence of 5 years 4 months.
