Given the appellant's age, very favourable background and institutional reports and genuine remorse, the appellate court held that a non‑custodial rehabilitative disposition (probation or conditional discharge) was the appropriate sentence rather than detention; the detention order was set aside and the appellant was conditionally discharged under s.36 with a recorded conviction.
