The magistrate's sentencing approach was not shown to be wrong given the seriousness and deterrent needs, but on compelling humanitarian grounds (welfare of the appellants' young son and lack of caregivers) the Court reduced the sentences from 9 months to 6 months concurrent; leave to prosecute the 2nd appellant's appeal out of time was granted on the explanation provided.
