- High Court
The High Court found the district court's starting point of nine months for the totality of offending was within range given the principal assault and multiple assaults on police; the cumulative three month re-sentence for earlier offending was appropriate given the offender's persistent breaches and history; the 20% plea discount was justified by timing and strength of evidence; no additional credit was warranted for time on restrictive bail or pre-sentence custody; accordingly there was no error rendering the sentence manifestly excessive and the appeal was dismissed.
