The court found the defendant guilty of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated and sentenced him to two months of immediate imprisonment. The prosecution argued that the defendant's history of multiple prior convictions, including previous prison terms, necessitated a harsher penalty. The court agreed, ruling that a suspended sentence was legally impossible given his recidivism and that immediate execution was required for effective prevention and social justice.
