The High Court held the trial judge did not err in sentencing: placement of the appellant under police supervision pursuant to the Prevention of Crime Act 1959 legitimately informed the judge's view that the appellant was not a true first offender; the trial judge properly balanced public interest and mitigation, had explained the possible penalties and the seven-year term (half of the 14-year maximum) with three strokes was within the lawful range and not excessive; therefore the appeal against sentence is dismissed.
