The accomplice in the infamous Kaleen Caltex robbery, Ryan Taylor, has lost a battle against his sentence in the ACT Court of Appeal.
Justices Murrell, Refshauge, and Penfold were not moved by his argument that it was unusual to have a non-parole period make up 70% of a head sentence.
“Although, in the ACT, non-parole periods generally fall within the range of 50 – 70% of the total term, error is not established by showing that a non-parole period falls outside this range,” Chief Justice Murrell ruled.
