Barry Ronald Grant, for cultivating the large commercial quantity of cannabis plants I sentence you to imprisonment. I set a non-parole period of four years, which will be regarded as having commenced on 13 February 2009 and which will expire on 12 February 2013. The balance of the term of the sentence is one year and four months expiring on 12 June 2014. For the offence of supplying 8.14 kilograms of cannabis I sentence you to imprisonment for a fixed term of two years. The term of the sentence will be regarded as having commenced on 13 February 2009 and will expire on 12 February 2011. I have imposed a fixed term because the sentence is wholly subsumed by the non-parole period of the sentence already imposed. DECISION : For unlawfully disposing of the body of Jethro Matheson I sentence you to imprisonment for a fixed term of 1 year, commencing on 13 February 2011 and expiring on 12 February 2012. I have imposed a fixed term because the sentence will be wholly subsumed by the non-parole period of the sentence I am about to impose. For the manslaughter of Jethro Matheson I sentence you to imprisonment. I set a non-parole period of eight years and six months, commencing on 13 February 2011 and expiring on 12 August 2019. The balance of the term will be three years and six months, expiring on 12 February 2023. The first day upon which you will become eligible for release to parole will be 12 August 2019.
