Appeal Determined (QCA)
[2020] QCA 68
09 Apr 2020
Application for leave to appeal against sentence, and to extend time and adduce new evidence, refused; no satisfactory explanation for delay; no error in characterising guilty plea as ‘late’; exercising sentencing discretion afresh with reference to new evidence, which included matters going to remorse and prospects of rehabilitation, a more lenient sentence would be inappropriate: Fraser JA (Henry and Bradley JJ agreeing).
