The Appellant was arrested and taken to Korogwe Police Station where he confessed, hence accordingly charged with the offence of stealing by servant. At the trial court when the charge was read over and explained to the Appellant, he pleaded: “It is true” I ran away with the said motorcycle and disappeared.” Thereafter the trial court entered a plea of guilty. As per the practice, then the facts were read over to the Appellant and he admitted to every fact as read and he then signed. After the Appellant pleaded guilty, he got convicted and then sentenced to ten (10) years’ imprisonment. Dissatisfied on sentence, his appeal before the High Court was unsuccessful after the same was dismissed. Undaunted, he has preferred this second appeal. In this appeal, the Appellant preferred the following two grounds of appeal. That, the appellate judge erred in law by sustaining maximum sentence imposed by the trial court to the Appellant without unusual circumstances which were shown to justify such sentence. That, the appellate judge erroneously ignored a Handbook on sentencing by Brian Slattery in not considering that the Appellant was a youthful first offender.
