    High Court

    Judge found multiple serious aggravating factors (planning/premeditation, gang involvement, weapon use, significant physical and psychological harm to an innocent victim) and set a starting point of four years and six months' imprisonment; applying discounts of nine months for guilty pleas, three months for remorse and restorative justice, and three months for time on EM bail yielded an effective sentence of three years and three months which was imposed concurrently on both counts.
