Whitsundays OnlineFormer security guard, Jason Gambier, who was found guilty of making bomb threats to Mama Africa's nightclub in August 2007, has lost his appeal.
Gambier was originally found guilty and sentenced to 9 months gaol, but ordered to be released after serving four months, and on good behaviour for 3 years. He was also ordered to pay $3000 restitution to Mama Africa's for lost trade.
In a unanimous decision, Gambier's application for leave was dismissed by the Court of Appeal. The COA's Justice Ann Lyons said that "given the seriousness of the conduct, his Honour (the sentencing judge) obviously considered that a period of imprisonment was required to be served.."
