Henry, Appeal Of [2020] SHCA 1 (23 January 2020)
The sentence, though severe, was not manifestly excessive and was within the trial judge's discretion, given the seriousness of the attack and the need to deter assaults on police officers. Consecutive sentences were appropriate as the offences were distinct, and the totality principle was properly considered.
