Ruling

1. The applicant was charged and convicted for the offence of breaking into a building and committing a felony contrary to section 306(a) as read with 306(b) of the Penal Code. She was sentenced to serve two (2) years imprisonment.

2. She has filed the present application seeking a sentence review.. The grounds raised are that she is remorseful for the offence committed. She has undergone rehabilitation. She urged the court to revise the sentence of the trial court to a non-custodial sentence.

3. I have considered the application, the grounds in support and the applicable law. From the record of the trial court, the court considered the applicant’s mitigation, the time spent in remand custody and the fact that the applicant was a first offender before sentencing. Having considered the application in its totality. The sentence imposed was also legal in the circumstances of the case.

4. In my view I find no good cause or reason to revise the sentence imposed by the trial court. The application dismissed.Orders accordingly.
