    Conviction is valid because the accused voluntarily pleaded guilty and admitted facts and exhibits establishing each element; balancing mitigation against aggravating factors and public interest, a custodial sentence of six months imprisonment (from date of arrest) is appropriate and proportionate for causing hurt to a police officer under s.332, with a reduced term below the statutory maximum to reflect the guilty plea and mitigating factors.

    Accused's voluntary guilty plea and admitted facts rendered conviction valid under s.305 KTJ; mitigation was considered but outweighed by gravity of offences (predawn housebreaking, threats with imitation firearm, physical assault, obstruction of officers); sentences imposed were within statutory limits, reduced from maximum where appropriate, ordered to run concurrently from date of arrest to reflect proportionality and public interest in deterrence.
