Court sentenced defendant to 10 years for attempted murder, rejecting probation due to prior record and victim provocation.

The court convicted the defendant of attempted murder and sentenced him to ten years in prison, rejecting the prosecutor's request for a suspended sentence. The prosecution argued for a lighter penalty based on the victim's prior assault and the defendant's apology, while the defense sought probation citing the victim's provocation. The court denied probation because the defendant's prior record indicated a lack of reformation, and the victim's initial aggression did not justify a suspended sentence given the defendant's lethal intent.
