Having regard to the appellant's lack of previous convictions, past mental disturbance (though not requiring treatment), genuine remorse, family responsibilities, steady employment, favourable probation report and time in custody, the court concluded that probation for two years with a recorded conviction was more likely to achieve reformation than continued imprisonment and substituted that order for the original 12‑month sentence.
