Supreme Court allows reduction of probation sentence for new crimes committed during probation period.

The Supreme Court ruled that a reduction in the probation period must be applied to a new conviction for crimes committed during the original probation term. The defendant argued that the initial sentence reduction should not extend to subsequent offenses, but the court found the reduction mandatory under the Criminal Code. Consequently, the court ordered the application of the same reduction to the new sentence to ensure consistency in sentencing for crimes committed while on probation.
