Ethan Dane Dodds has returned to the High Court at Auckland, for sentencing after killing Benjamin Mcintosh in 2022.
His tracking device was highlighted as prosecution sought a lengthy non-parole period.
Justice Graham Lang says 17 years non-parole was unjust as the murder wasn't intended.
The 25-year-old will instead serve a life sentence with a minimum non-parole period of 12 years.
