A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
1Regardless of whether the disposition was fit when imposed, the Crown fairly acknowledges that in the light of the post sentence report, which shows that the appellant has made remarkable progress in turning her life around, the custodial part of the sentence should be varied to time served.
2Moreover, in the light of the appellant’s progress, the restrictive conditions which she has met, and Mr. Caley’s letter, we agree that the probation order should be set aside.
3The appeal is allowed. The custodial portion of the sentence is varied to time served and the probation order is set aside.
