R v D'Amico

In the case of R v D’Amico, the defendant was convicted of aiding, abetting, counselling, or procuring an attempt to possess a commercial quantity of a border controlled drug. The matter was heard and determined in the relevant court. The primary issue for the court to decide was the appropriate sentence to be imposed on the offender, taking into account the nature and circumstances of the offence, as well as the principles of specific and general deterrence. Additionally, the court was required to consider the offender's role in the offence and the seriousness of the crime.

The court thoroughly examined the evidence presented and the arguments advanced by both parties. In reaching its decision, the court considered the offender's role in the offence, the seriousness of the crime, and the need for specific and general deterrence. The court also took into account the subjective matters relevant to the offender's background and circumstances. Ultimately, the court determined that a sentence of imprisonment was appropriate, and imposed a term of 7 years, comprising a non-parole period of 4 years and 6 months, followed by a balance of term of 2 years and 3 months. The offender is to be released to parole on or about 12 November 2023.
