- High Court
The Court held that the offending involved at least low‑level premeditation and an inferred motive of domestic retribution, that the trial Judge's starting point of two years four months for imprisonment was within range though towards the top, but given that a suitable address for electronically monitored home detention was available and appropriate, the sentence of 1 year 9 months imprisonment should be quashed and substituted with nine months home detention with specified special conditions.
