The judge found the magistrate had considered all mitigation and had not expressly rejected the appellant's asserted belief; a ten-year age disparity justified a short custodial sentence; ordering a detention centre report made clear custodial options were being considered so no false expectation of non-custodial outcome arose; the medical report of depression/anxiety did not justify suspension; accordingly the three-month concurrent custodial sentences were not manifestly excessive and the appeal was dismissed.
