The Case
Sentence Imprisonment. The Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, held that in the circumstances, the sentence of detention for public protection for robbery, possession of an offensive weapon and conspiracy to rob had been manifestly excessive. The judge had failed to take into account lesser forms of sentence and in the circumstances an extended sentence would have been appropriate.
