- Court
- High Court
The High Court held the District Court's starting point and uplifts were within the permissible range given the gravity of six-on-one prolonged violence including targeted blows to heads, the judge was entitled to limit mitigation because of the prior discharge without conviction and doubts about remorse, totality did not render the sentence disproportionate, and therefore the 29-month imprisonment was not manifestly excessive and the appeal was dismissed.
