Crosby v R [2026] NSWCCA 157

Crosby v R [2026] NSWCCA 157 concerns an appeal against an aggregate sentence of seven years and six months for methylamphetamine supply and proceeds-of-crime offences. Crosby argued that the sentencing judge committed a De Simoni error by effectively punishing him for knowledge or intention amounting to more serious proceeds offences, and mishandled the objective seriousness of an agreement-to-supply count. The Court held that references to transferred money, the supply chain and street dealing were used in mitigation, not aggravation. An apparent reference to 61 supplies was an immaterial slip. Time was extended and leave granted, but the appeal was dismissed and the sentence remained unchanged.
