HEARD & ENDORSED:

On appeal from the sentence imposed by Justice D. G. Bice dated October 30, 2002.

A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T

[1] The appellant alleges no error in principle. Given the many aggravating factors, we cannot say that the sentence though lengthy was manifestly unreasonable.

[2] The fresh evidence provides no basis for us to interfere with the sentence.

[3] Leave to appeal sentence granted but the appeal is dismissed.
