Brian A. Callender, for the appellant

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT



[1]

In our view, the sentence for this very serious offence
    was fit, particularly having regard to the appellants record for violence,
    which appears to be escalating in seriousness.  We see no error in principle; the trial judge gave appropriate weight to
    the guilty plea.

[2]

While leave to appeal sentence is granted, the appeal
    is dismissed.
