The appeal was dismissed because the sentencing judge did not err: the 27 month sentence was available and not manifestly excessive given aggravating factors (repeated offending, offending on bail, failure to appear, history of non-compliance and limited insight) and the appellant's belated letters of apology did not constitute fresh evidence nor demonstrate genuine remorse that would justify a reduction.
