[2007] EWCA Crim 1292

A two-year detention and training order had been unduly lenient for an offence of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm where the defendant, who was 17-and-a-half at the time, had armed himself in advance and had undertaken a pre-meditated revenge attack. The appropriate sentence was three-and-a-half years' detention.
