Court of Criminal Appeal Supreme Court New South Wales Medium Neutral Citation: R v King [2011] NSWCCA 274 Hearing dates: 3 November 2011 Decision date: 14 December 2011 Before: McClellan CJ at CL at [1] Adams J at [2] Hoeben J at [23] Decision: Appeal dismissed Catchwords: CRIMINAL LAW - perjury - pervert the course of justice - offender committed arson and associated offences on 7 December 2007 - offender lied to psychologist and in evidence about date of brother's death to get sympathy and falsified death notice.
SENTENCING - Crown appeal against sentence - question of totality - sentences for perjury and pervert the course of justice made wholly concurrent with sentence for primary offences - complete concurrency for separate crimes may be appropriate -question is whether the overall sentence imposed reflects the criminality of the offences - sentencing judge did not err in making the sentences wholly concurrent where principle of totality satisfied and further punishment would be excessive.
