    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA332/2025

    The sentence was within the reasonable range for a repeat shoplifter; the trial judge permissibly adopted a 10‑month starting point and uplifted it by two months for the appellant's extensive theft antecedents and rapid reoffending, then applied a one‑third guilty plea discount to reach 8 months; no error or manifest excess was shown on rehearing, so the appeal is dismissed.
