The High Court has granted the appeal of a man who blackmailed DOC
12 September 2019
New Plymouth man Gregory Buchanan threatened staff in letters - complaining about the department's 1080 use.
He was sentenced to five years in prison earlier this year.
But that jail time has been halved on appeal - with the court finding the sentencing starting point was too high.
The revised sentence is two years and eight months in prison.
