- Court of Appeal
Admitted further evidence and reduced the sentence: FDIA was causative of the offending and substantially reduced culpability (justifying up to a 50% reduction) and the burdens of imprisonment and lack of treatment in custody justified a further discount (20%); applying those considerations warranted quashing the seven years one month sentence and substituting four years' imprisonment; suppression application was adjourned with interim orders to continue pending Corrections' assurances.
