› Whether absence of disparity between sentences of co-offenders gave rise to justifiable sense of grievance
› Whether role as getaway driver warranted lesser sentence than co-offenders who directly confronted victims
› Criminal Code (WA), s 378, s 392
Quick Take
1A getaway driver's role may be central to the commission of aggravated robberies such that the driver's culpability is not materially less than co-offenders who directly confronted victims, and parity of sentence does not give rise to a justifiable sense of grievance.
2Additional offending (here, serious driving offences) requiring cumulative sentences is a relevant factor in assessing whether absence of disparity with co-offenders infringes the parity principle.
