- High Court
Leave to appeal out of time granted; although the High Court found the District Court should have afforded greater mitigation for addiction, upbringing and genuine remorse (warranting a 20% personal mitigation discount), the overall sentencing path chosen by Judge Snell fell within the available range and was not manifestly excessive; appeal dismissed and original sentences and post‑imprisonment conditions affirmed.
