- High Court
The Judge's starting point of three years and three months was within the appropriate range after applying Mako principles adjusted for aggravated burglary; the discounts applied (remorse/youth/restorative engagement and early guilty plea) were appropriate and generous; the Judge considered EM bail and given its short duration no additional reduction was warranted, therefore the sentence of 27 months' imprisonment was not manifestly excessive and the appeal is dismissed.
