Yes, as you say, the result is part good, part not good. What worries me more is whether this young man's apology and expression of regret is genuine. It could have been a tactic to get a lighter sentence, rather than a sincere expression of regret. But unfortunately only he knows what is in his heart. All the court can do is impose punishment based on what he has said. But the lifetime ban is good, as if he dares to ignore it later on (which, sadly, he could), he will then be guilty of breaking the ban as well as a second offence, and could expect a sentence much harsher than he got this time around.
