R v Campbell (No 2)

In the case of R v Campbell (No 2), the defendant was convicted on three counts: two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of dishonestly driving a motor vehicle belonging to someone else. The matter was heard in the County Court of Victoria. The defendant's criminal history was significant, contributing to the sentencing considerations.

The court was required to decide the appropriate sentences for each offence, taking into account the defendant's previous convictions and the aggravating factors present in the robberies. The court also needed to determine the cumulative sentence and the non-parole period, as well as reparations and good behaviour orders. The defence argued for the lesser severity in sentencing, while the prosecution advocated for a more stringent penalty reflecting the gravity of the crimes.

The County Court Judge sentenced the defendant to 2 years for each count of aggravated robbery, with sentences to run concurrently, and 6 months for the offence of dishonest driving, to run consecutively. The non-parole period was set at 17 months and 10 days, reflecting the cumulative impact of the offences. Additionally, the court made reparation orders to the victims, Big Pizza Company Pty Ltd and Domino’s Pizza Enterprises, and outlined conditions for good behaviour orders.

The court's final orders included specific sentences for each offence, the non-parole period, reparation payments to the victims, and provisions for any breaches of good behaviour orders. The sentences reflect a balanced approach, considering the defendant's criminal history and the need for deterrence and rehabilitation.
