The appellant's unequivocal guilty plea and admitted facts constituted the offence charged; no ground was shown to render the plea a nullity; having regard to evidence, the appellant's persistent dishonesty and applicable pickpocketing sentencing guidelines, a 9‑month starting point reduced by one‑third for plea to 6 months was not manifestly excessive, therefore conviction and sentence are upheld.
