-v-

Kayleigh Anne Baker

Breach of Probation Order handed down in November 2005 and additional breach of Probation Order handed down in 2005 on charges of:

1 count of:	Illegal Entry with intent to commit a crime.  (Count 1).
1 count of:	Illegal entry and larceny.  (Count 2).

Mrs S. Sharpe, Crown Advocate.

Advocate J. C. Gollop for the Defendant.

JUDGMENT

THE BAILIFF:

1.        As the Deputy Bailiff said on the last occasion that you appeared before this Court, the Magistrate gave you a chance in June, but you let him down.  The Royal Court gave you a chance in November and you have failed to comply with the Probation Order during that time, and I am afraid the chickens must come home to roost.  You have to learn that if you do not comply with the orders of the Court then punishment will follow.

2.        We have taken account of the fact that you are a juvenile within the terms of the Criminal Justice (Young Offenders) (Jersey) Law 1994, but we have reached the conclusion that youth detention is the only appropriate way of dealing with you because you are unwilling or unable to comply with non-custodial orders.

3.        We are going to discharge the Probation Orders of the 21^st June and 4^th November 2005.  We are going to take account of the period spent in custody on remand and reduce slightly the conclusions of the Crown Advocate.  On Count 1, you will be sentenced to 15 months' youth detention.  On Count 2 to 15 months' youth detention, concurrent and I must tell you that you will be liable to supervision by a professional other officer for a period when you have served that sentence.
