Court accepted the guilty plea but, given the accused’s multiple prior convictions for the same drug offence and the serious public interest in deterrence, applied limited mitigation and imposed punishment within section 39C(2): 10 years’ imprisonment from date of arrest, 4 strokes, and 3 years’ supervision under section 38B; the sentence was held to be lawful, proportionate and necessary to protect the public and deter reoffending.
