The appellant pleaded guilty to aggravated assault on his father and was sentenced to 16 months' custody followed by 3 years' probation.
He appealed his sentence, arguing he was not receiving the recommended psychiatric treatment in custody.
The Court of Appeal found no error in the sentencing judge's decision.
The court noted the appellant's refusal of a proposed variation to facilitate a transfer to a psychiatric hospital and dismissed the appeal, emphasizing that the probation conditions were intended to ensure he receives help upon release.
