[2004] EWCA Crim 2618

In all the circumstances a sentence of two years and six months for an offence of manslaughter was unduly lenient; it was clear the judge had been unduly influenced by the defendant's mitigation and had paid too little regard to the seriousness of the offence. The sentence would be increased to three years and six months.
