Benjamin, Appeal Of [2019] SHCA 3 (24 May 2019)
The total sentence was excessive as insufficient reduction was made for the attempted rape count and for the appellant's ill health; the sentence for attempted rape should be reduced to 3½ years, resulting in a total sentence of 5 years, which is just and proportionate.
