- High Court
Acknowledging a mathematical error in the District Court's calculation, the High Court held intensive supervision was lawfully available, the sentence was unusual but not manifestly inadequate in the special circumstances (young age, Asperger's, lack of prior convictions, compliance and rehabilitative prospects), and substituted a limited punitive addition of 250 hours' community service while upholding two years' intensive supervision and the special conditions and judicial monitoring.
