Sentencing — wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm — admonishment — supervision order — Oranga Tamariki Act 1989, s 283(k). The young person, aged 17, appeared for sentence after admitting to one charge of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He had attacked a woman from behind with a knife while she was out walking with her dog. Counsel for the young person submitted that there were two likely options for sentencing: an admonishment, following an informal six-month plan, meaning there would be an order made by the Court and it would be on the young person's record that he had admitted the charge; or a supervision order, which was a more strict formal process which also results in a record. The Judge took into account the young person's past, medical history, family situation, behaviour on while on EM bail, the interests of the victim, and the seriousness of the offending, and concluded that a supervision order was appropriate. The Judge made a six-month supervision order with conditions. Judgment Date: 3 November 2020. * * * Note: names have been changed to comply with legal requirements. * * *
