Once the evidence was in, the three judges deliberated only five minutes before they found Martinis innocent of all charges...

...passing sentence. The judge refused the recommendation, sentencing him to three to five years on the charge of assault with intent to murder, and to 12 months on the charge of drunkenness on the ball park.
