The Case
Sentence Imprisonment. In the instant case, a sentence of two years' detention in a young offender institution was quashed and substituted by a sentence of 15 months' detention, where the offender had pleaded guilty to two counts of supplying cocaine, one count of supplying heroin and one count of acquiring criminal property. The dominating influence of the defendant's personal circumstances brought the instant case to some extent into an exceptional category.
