One of three people charged with supplying a nine year old boy with alcohol in Hamilton earlier this year was already in jail by the time his case came up.
Kali Tiloi pleaded guilty via video link - from prison, where he's serving time for other charges.
He was convicted and fined $750 after the Hamilton District Court heard he was the man who physically handed over cans of Cody to drink.
Tiloi was a friend of the boy's father.
This morning the trial of two other people accused of supplying alcohol to a minor in relation to the case has started.
