of ROBERTSON V THE REPUBLIC [2015] 80 GM PER OWUSU (MS) JSC, the Supreme Court stated as follows:
“Sentencing is discretionary and where the discretion has been judiciously exercised, an appellate Court has no just cause to interfere with the exercise of the discretion.  The principles upon which the Court would act on on appeal against sentence were that it would not interfere with a sentence on the mere ground that if members of the Court had been trying the appellant, they might have passed a somewhat different sentence.  The Court will interfere only when it was of the opinion that the sentence was manifestly excessive having regard to the circumstances of this case or that the sentence was wrong in principle.”
