    The court held the affidavits were not fresh or outcome-determinative and refused admission; kinship to the candidate and alleged herd pressure did not amount to sufficient mitigation; the sentencing benchmark of three months and the resultant two-month immediate custodial sentences were within established principle and not excessive, therefore the appeals were dismissed and original sentences upheld.
