The appellant appealed an effective 15-year sentence imposed for two separate sets of serious charges arising from a prolonged high-level drug trafficking enterprise, which included firearms, threatening, and conspiracy to export offences.
The second set of offences involved significant amounts of drugs and was committed while the appellant was in custody awaiting sentence on the first set.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the trial judges' application of sentencing principles, including totality, and held that the sentences were within the applicable range.
The sentence appeal was dismissed.
