JUDGMENT
THE DEPUTY BAILIFF: We have read the reports and they are increasingly disturbing. This Court does not give the warning we gave to you when you last appeared before us lightly. We thought, Mr Chapman, that we had been positive on the last occasion.
For the reason that your offending is so serious that it can only be matched with a period of custody, we now sentence you to 6 months Youth Detention, we discharge the binding over order, and the probation order, and I have to tell you, you may be liable to supervision when you leave prison.
