MRS JUSTICE MAY:
Introduction
Facts of the offending
Sentence
"I am also going to be sentencing you for other matters on which I am going to pass concurrent sentences so the ultimate sentence reflects the totality of it ... There is a slight discount because of totality in the sense of your other case where your sentence is three years."
Grounds of appeal
Discussion and decision
"Other offences sentenced alongside possession of a prohibited weapon (which attracts a five year minimum term) – any reduction on grounds of totality should not reduce the effect of properly deterrent and commensurate sentences. The court should not reduce an otherwise appropriate consecutive sentence for another offence so as to remove the impact of the mandatory minimum sentence for the firearms offence."
