The appeal against conviction is dismissed as abandoned; the magistrate did not err in imposing imprisonment because the probation/community service report did not create an expectation of such an order and the appellant lacked genuine remorse and the offence was sufficiently serious to warrant imprisonment; however, given the appellant's clear record and time already spent in custody, the custodial sentence of four months is suspended for two years.
