Joint theft conviction with reduced sentence for accomplice due to lesser culpability and prior non-criminal record.

The court convicted two defendants of attempted joint theft, sentencing the principal offender to one year of imprisonment and the accomplice to six months of restricted liberty with community service. The court determined that the accomplice acted under the influence of the principal and possessed a prior non-criminal record, warranting a lighter penalty. Consequently, the court applied statutory provisions to mitigate the accomplice's sentence while acknowledging the principal's greater role and prior criminal history.
