- High Court
Given the extreme seriousness, planning, use of a lethal weapon and devastating injury, an 11-year starting point (reduced by specified uplifts and a plea discount) was appropriate; further mitigation of 15% was warranted for genuine remorse and significant personal and mental health factors, resulting in a concurrent end sentence of 8.5 years with no MPI to encourage rehabilitation and with a first strike warning issued.
