[2007] EWCA Crim 3218

A sentence of imprisonment for public protection with a minimum term of six years was unduly lenient where the offender, who had a long criminal record including violent offences, had attacked two victims with an iron bar, leaving one of the victims very severely brain damaged. A sentence of seven years was substituted as the minimum term.
