The appeal was dismissed because the judge did not err: the guilty plea discount (six months) was appropriate given the plea was not made at the earliest opportunity; the one month discount for remorse was justified as medical material did not demonstrate genuine or exceptional remorse nor a causal link between ADHD and the offending; therefore the 26 month sentence was not manifestly excessive.
