The appellate court held that while assaults on police officers are serious and usually attract immediate custodial sentences for deterrence, the appellant's status as a first offender with stable employment and other mitigating features rendered the two‑month immediate sentence excessive; the appropriate sentence is one month immediate imprisonment, so the sentencing appeal is allowed in part and the sentence reduced.
