Even if the Court of Appeal erred in leaving the applicant's medical condition to the Executive, the applicant failed to demonstrate an arguable case that the sentencing court would have given his paraplegia weight sufficient to reduce the term in light of the extreme gravity of the offences; as a rule injuries sustained during criminal acts do not ordinarily mitigate sentence except in very exceptional circumstances.
