Background
A 15-year-old juvenile pleaded guilty to four criminal counts (theft, unlawful entry, robbery, and unlawful entry with damage). The magistrate imposed two concurrent sentences: (1) postponed sentence for 5 years with conditions, and (2) placement at a probation remand home. The High Court found this constituted double punishment and reviewed the sentence.
