The Case
In a case involving a defendant who had pleaded guilty to possessing a Class C drug, producing a Class C drug, and possessing a Class C drug with intent to supply, while the sentence was not wrong in principle, in all of the circumstances of the instant case, it was not necessary for the defendant to serve two years' imprisonment.
