    CACC53/1973

    The appellant's sentence was reduced because the court found he was a reluctant participant who had warned the deceased, acted under some compulsion, inflicted limited violence (punched but did not kick) and subsequently called the police; these mitigating factors justified reducing the original sentence to 2 years despite the need to maintain deterrence and law and order.
