The High Court held the District Court erred by insufficiently discounting the sentence for genuine remorse and systemic cultural deprivation causatively linked to the offending; applied a 25% discount for early guilty plea and a 15% discount for remorse and systemic deprivation (total greater mitigation), quashed the original sentence and substituted a reduced term of imprisonment.
