Notes on Sentencing

Case Summary:
Re-sentencing of CDA on a supervision order and a community work order. At the FGC no agreement could be reached as there were no identifiable community-based sanctions possible. Had CDA been an adult the repetitive type of offending and failure to comply with community-based sanctions, he would have been sent to prison.

Decision:
Supervision with residence ordered due to the seriousness of the offending. This would mean 3 months in a residence, followed by 6 months supervision.
The Judge warned CDA that he would be under ‘a double microscope’ and he only had until March 2008 before he would be subject to the adult courts. This was his ‘last shot’.
