The appellant pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after inflicting a life-threatening stab wound to the victim's neck and was sentenced to two years less a day imprisonment, plus 7 months of pre-sentence custody credit.
She appealed the sentence, arguing the sentencing judge erred in stating he could not go lower.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the judge meant a lower sentence was inappropriate, not legally prohibited, and that the sentence was fit given the serious nature of the offence and the appellant's prior conviction for a similar offence.
