- High Court
The Judge did not err: the psychiatric report established a drug-induced psychosis which is excluded from mitigating consideration under s 9(3) of the Sentencing Act, the offences involved multiple victims, force and threats making them relatively serious, and the appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence of adverse consequences of conviction; accordingly the refusal to discharge without conviction and the 10 week sentence were upheld.
