______________

Hon Mayo JA (giving the decision of the Court):

1. We certify that a point of great and general importance arises on this appeal. It is:

"whether serious injuries received by an accused in the course of criminal acts can be a factor which lies for consideration by the sentencing court as to the length of the term of imprisonment to be imposed for those criminal acts".
