The Case

In the circumstances of the case, the sentence passed by the judge of 12 months' detention and a training order on each count to be served concurrently following guilty pleas to offences of theft, and an assault occasioning actual bodily harm, to attempted theft, burglary and aggravated vehicle taking was entirely proper. However, the apparent discrepancy between the defendant and her co-defendants which arose on account of a period which the defendant had been remanded in custody, had to be recognised; the appropriate sentence was one of six months, and the detention and training order would run for that period.
