The defendant appealed sentences in respect of convictions for robbery and the supply of Class A drugs. The totality of sentences over two indictments was six years. The individual sentences were correct, and the consecutive sentencing was correct, but the total was excessive. The sentence was reduced to five years by taking six months each of the two longer sentences on the separate indictments.
