| ||
Reasons for the above order: | ||
[1] The State seeks leave to appeal against the sentence imposed by the Magistrate on 19 March 2019 following his conviction on a charge of attempted murder read with the provisions of the Combating of Domestic Violence Act 4/2003. [2] The sentence imposed was the following: ‘six months imprisonment, wholly suspended for a period of five years on condition that the accused is not convicted of attempted murder or of assault committed during the period of suspension.’ [3] Having read the papers, I am of the view that there is a reasonable prospect that the court of appeal may interfere with the sentence imposed. [4] The appellant is granted leave to appeal against the sentence. | ||
