- Court of Appeal
Extension of time to appeal granted; s 104 applied because the murder was particularly brutal and committed in the course of robbery and the minimum period of 17 years was not manifestly unjust; post-trial expert opinion and allegations of counsel incompetence did not establish grounds to disturb the sentence; the sentencing judge's reasons were adequate.
