    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC1387/1983

    The appeal was allowed and the five year imprisonment sentence was conditionally substituted with detention in a detention centre because new material not before the trial judge (medical/psychiatric and Correctional Services information) justified leniency; substitution was conditional on physical fitness for training and availability of a place, otherwise the matter must be returned to court.
