The court magistrate noted in her judgment that the accused was not remorseful for the offense convicted of.
”The court notes that the offense committed was grave, and the victim in the statement does not wish for any restitution, therefore I proceed and sentence you for the offense of attempted murder contrary to section 220(A) of penal code. That you will serve an imprisonment of 30 years and you have 14 days of the appeal.”, Justice Bartoo said in part of her judgment.
