COUNSEL: Paul Calarco for the appellant Elise Nakelsky for the respondent

On appeal from sentence imposed by Justice Frank N. Marrocco of the Superior Court of Justice dated February 21, 2006.
A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
1This was a very serious offence. The appellant inflicted a severe beating on the victim. The offence itself required a lengthy penitentiary sentence. Given the appellant’s serious criminal record including prior convictions for similar offences of violence, protection of the public required a lengthy sentence. The trial judge made no error in principle and the sentence was not unfit. Untreated, the appellant remains a serious danger to the public and to date there is little to suggest that the appellant is capable of rehabilitation.
2Accordingly, while leave to appeal sentence is granted, the appeal is dismissed.
