    Court of Appeal

    CACC164/1998

    The court held that the sentencing judge erred in failing to grant the full one-third discount for an early guilty plea; accordingly the burglary sentence was reduced from two years three months to two years. The activation and consecutive ordering of the suspended two-month sentence was proper, resulting in a total effective sentence of two years two months imprisonment.
