- HCMA1240/2005
The magistrate's increase of three months to a total of 18 months was justified and proportionate because the offence was a practised, professional pick-pocketing in a busy tourist area and the appellant had cynically manipulated a mildly mentally retarded co-accused; therefore the appeal against sentence is dismissed.
