Key legal question
Whether the three-year prison sentence for robbery and trespass was excessive or improperly reasoned under sentencing law.
Extracted holding
The sentence was not unlawfully high and was sufficiently justified; no mitigating factor required a reduction.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court could rely on the seriousness of the offence, the offenders' ruthless conduct and high criminal energy. The appellant's claimed remorse, alcoholism, and alleged protective motive were not shown convincingly enough to alter culpability.
