    CACC220/1993

    Given the applicant's leading role in a semi-organised group attack that resulted in death, and the trial judge's proper application of sentencing principles including a generous finding of provocation, the 8-year sentence for manslaughter was not manifestly excessive and no error of principle was made; leave to appeal against sentence was therefore refused.
