The court convicted the defendant of drunk driving on a motorbike while being a recidivist, sentencing him to six months in prison. The prosecution argued for a harsher penalty due to the defendant's prior conviction within five years and high blood alcohol levels, while the defense highlighted the lower danger of a motorbike compared to a car. The court rejected the defense's request for a suspended sentence, citing the defendant's high social harm and previous criminal record as grounds for immediate execution of the sentence.
