[2007] EWCA Crim 1951

A judge had been correct to admit a defendant's previous bad character under the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.101(1)(g) since the conduct of that defendant in his evidence-in-chief amounted to an attack on prosecution witnesses. However, a sentence of 10 years' imprisonment had been manifestly excessive for breach of a sexual offences prevention order.
