The Case
Sentencing Robbery. A total sentence of four years and three months' imprisonment was reduced to three years'; the sentence had been passed in respect of three robberies (two of shops and one of a woman's handbag), one of which had involved the use of a knife to threaten the victim. The offences were out of character, however, and the defendant had voluntarily attended at the police station to admit them.
