MD was charged with ‘Larceny’ contrary to section 117 of the Crimes Act 1900. The offence carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years.
James Castillo represented MD at the Central Local Court on which occasion the matter was listed for Sentence. James Castillo tendered materials and made oral submissions on MD’s behalf where His Honour sentenced MD to one month imprisonment, backdated for time already being served.
This is a great result as MD is in the process of applying for permanent residency in Australia and hopes to continue an apprenticeship.
