The court convicted the defendant of theft and imposed a six-month prison sentence, finding him guilty of committing the crime while already serving a prior sentence. The prosecution argued that the defendant's history of multiple offenses and lack of remorse demonstrated high moral degradation, justifying the application of absolute deprivation of liberty. The court agreed, noting the defendant's repeated criminal behavior shortly after release from prison, while also acknowledging the full restitution of stolen goods and the defendant's confession.
