The appellant appealed his nine-year sentence, arguing it should be reduced to six years based on parity with his co-accused, whose sentence was reduced by the Court of Appeal in a previous decision.
The Court agreed that parity was central to the original joint submission.
While the appellant shared some mitigating factors with the co-accused, such as rehabilitation and cooperation with authorities, other factors did not apply.
The appeal was allowed in part, and the sentence was reduced from nine to eight years.
