The court said: - The police were justified in using force, but they should have given him the juice. However, the conviction stood - The use of force was excessive, and the case was remanded back to the lower court. - The use of force was not excessive and upheld the conviction for being drunk in public. - The police were justified in "roughing up" Graham and denying him any sugar or orange juice, because it would have been "unreasonable" for the police to stop in the middle of an arrest and get him relief.
