The Court held the original concurrent sentencing was manifestly inadequate because the five offences were not a single transaction; some sentences should run consecutively. Applying precedent and totality the appropriate aggregate would have been 12 years but, on review, the Court varied the sentences so that Count 2 commences 4 years after Count 1, producing an overall effective sentence of 10 years.
