- High Court
There was insufficient evidence to establish a causal link between the appellant's methamphetamine use and the aggravated burglary; the sentencing judge did not err in the quantum of discounts applied (20% for guilty plea and 15% for s27 mitigation); any lack of a full 25% plea discount was balanced by the absence of an uplift for relevant prior burglary convictions; the overall sentence of three years three months was not manifestly excessive; appeal dismissed.
