Starting point of eight years six months reduced by a total of 35% (15% guilty plea plus a 20% reduction for traumatic brain injury, cultural factors and vulnerability) because the offender's organic personality disorder materially reduced culpability and made deterrence less apt; resulting end sentence five years six months on attempted murder, with 12 months concurrent for wounding; no minimum non-parole period ordered under s 86; Parole Board to assess release and conditions.
