The court granted a suspended sentence of two years for the defendant, G. Z., who was convicted of driving a motorbike while intoxicated. The defendant admitted guilt, expressed remorse, and argued that his low blood alcohol level and financial dependence on his elderly mother warranted leniency. The court accepted these arguments, finding the fault and social harm minor, and imposed a one-year driving ban alongside a fine to balance punishment with the need to allow the defendant to support his family.
