Sentencing — aggravated robbery — wounding with intent to injure — R v Mako [2000] 2 NZLR 170. The defendant appeared for sentence after accepting a sentence indication for one charge of aggravated robbery and one of wounding with intent to injure. Together with two co-defendants, the defendant had attacked and robbed two women. The defendant stabbed one of the victims, causing her a punctured lung and a cut ear. The offending's aggravating features included that it was a group attack, use of weapons, planning, premeditation, actual violence, and a major impact on the victim. The sentence indication was six years' imprisonment with a 20 percent discount for guilty plea. The court reduced the sentence by three months to recognise that one of the charges had since been downgraded from wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm to wounding with intent to cause injury. The defendant then earned discounts for youth and rehabilitation prospects, time spent on curfew, and for suffering from a disorder. The final sentence was three and a half years' imprisonment. Judgment Date: 16 March 2018.
