FAAOFO v R [2020] NZHC 1807

- Court
- High Court
The High Court held the sentence of two and a half years imprisonment was not manifestly excessive because the lead offending (possession of a sawn-off shotgun and ammunition) justified the 26 month starting point, the separate and unrelated offending (cannabis supply, assault, breaches) justified the cumulative uplifts, statutory aggravating factors and the offender's record warranted further uplift, and the final sentence properly reflected totality; appeal dismissed.
