The District Court judge did not err: given the aggravating features including forced entry/home invasion, attack to the head, multiple attackers and serious injury, a starting point of 2 years 9 months was within the appropriate range under Nuku analogies for reckless wounding and a six month uplift for a clear pattern of violent offending (and offending while subject to release conditions) was justified; the final sentence of 27 months is not manifestly excessive and the appeal is dismissed.
