- High Court
Applying the Moses two-step approach the Court held the District Court's outcome was within range: a 30-month starting point for the May 2021 reckless driving, uplifted by six months for the hospital assault and prior family violence to 36 months, less a 25% guilty plea discount to 27 months for the May charges, combined cumulatively with earlier January offending to produce a total effective end sentence of two years and nine months (33 months); the appeal against sentence was dismissed as not manifestly excessive.
