The appellant appealed his total sentence of 11 years (plus two years credit for 17 months pre-trial custody) for severe and prolonged domestic abuse of his common-law spouse.
The abuse included daily terrorization, throwing the victim from a balcony, placing her in a freezer, and sadistic sexual abuse.
The Court of Appeal found no error in principle and held the sentence was not demonstrably unfit, noting the appellant's terrible criminal record, lack of mitigating factors, and history of domestic abuse.
The appeal was dismissed.
