Quick Take
1For premeditated home invasion at night in company including robbery and the use of weapons in an assault causing relatively minor bodily harm, the sentencing range falls between about three and five and a half years imprisonment.
2An order deferring parole eligibility beyond the statutory mid-point is exceptional and should not be made without reasons and without affording the parties an opportunity to be heard.
3Co-offenders with different criminal histories must receive differentiated sentences reflecting the parity principle.
