The judgment of the court below is reversed.
A defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for one year.
However, for a period of two years from the date this judgment becomes final and conclusive.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. The lower court’s sentencing is too unjustifiable and unreasonable.
B. It is too short that the lower court ordering the Defendant to be placed on employment in institutions related to children and juveniles for three years is too short to order the Defendant to be placed on employment in institutions related to children and juveniles.
2. We examine ex officio prior to the judgment on the grounds for appeal by the ex officio judgment prosecutor.
