It will be very interesting if the Crown decides to try to submit fresh evidence at the sentence appeal (including printouts of the websites which essentially openly subvert the legitimacy of the trial court) or if the Court itself directs the preparation of what is referred to as a 'post-sentence report' which would essentially amount to a probation officer compiling a summary of how things have gone during the sentence prior to the hearing of the appeal.
In either case, the sentencing positions of the offenders could be significantly worse before the court of appeal than they were before the trial judge.
