The trial judge erred in under-weighting the criminality and multiplicity of premeditated offences; one set of such offences required a three-year term and, taking into account all offences, an overall starting point of four years was appropriate; applying a one-third discount for plea and cooperation reduced it to three years; because the review occurred at the end of the sentence a further six-month reduction was appropriate, resulting in a final sentence of two years and six months imprisonment.
