Sentencing — wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm — R v Taueki [2005] 3 NZLR 327. Several months before these proceedings, the defendant had pleaded guilty to a charge of grievous bodily harm. At the time she was already subject to intensive supervision for other offending but due to breaching the conditions of intensive supervision, she appeared for re-sentence on the original charge. The incident had occurred when the defendant went to the complainant's address and the two became involved in an altercation. The defendant attacked the complainant with a pair of scissors, causing her serious injury. The offending was not premeditated but involved serious violence. The complainant's injuries were potentially life-threatening. The court adopted a starting point of seven years' imprisonment, with a ten percent discount for the guilty plea. The sentence was uplifted slightly because of the defendant's inability to comply with the sentences previously imposed. The defendant earned a discount for remorse, meaning a final sentence of six years, two months' imprisonment, with the possibility of parole after two years. Judgment Date: 22 February 2018.
