The court held that remand/detention prior to conviction must be credited when imposing sentence; having considered guilty plea and first offender status but noting public interest, the maximum statutory sentence under the alternative charge was imposed and the remand period was taken into account, therefore the Public Prosecutor's appeal against sentence was dismissed.
