David Ryan Chamberlain's lawyer, David Rogers, argued for a conditional sentence, which would mean no jail time at all, saying he had never been in trouble before, is not a danger to others and has fantastic support from both family and respected members of the community including Mayor Ivan Court's Executive Assistant Al Rouse.
Judge Bill McCarroll agreed Chamberlain doesn't pose a danger but determined a conditional sentence, under the Court of Appeal guidelines, would not be appropriate.
Chamberlain had been out of work and still had not received his first E-I cheque when the blowup occurred.
The judge also went out of his way to tell the parents they shouldn't beat themselves up over what happened.
