The Attorney General v Tyler Colin Ahier [2021] JRC 302 (19 November 2021)

The Attorney General v Tyler Colin Ahier [2021] JRC 302 (19 November 2021)

The seriousness of the unprovoked joint assault, the significant injuries caused, and Ahier's repeated failure to comply with non-custodial sentences necessitated a custodial sentence for Ahier. Guillemot's lack of prior convictions and positive rehabilitation prospects justified a community-based sentence with compensation and exclusion order as a direct alternative to custody.
