The magistrate's seven-month sentence was manifestly excessive; proper approach yielded a six-month starting point reduced to four months for the guilty plea and further reduced to three months to reflect the 39 hours 30 minutes of community service completed, therefore the appeal is allowed in part and the sentence is substituted with three months imprisonment.
