[2008] EWCA Crim 3135

A sentence of five years' imprisonment, imposed following the offender's pleas of guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, careless driving, driving while over the prescribed limit, driving while disqualified and dangerous driving, was unduly lenient and was replaced by one of 10 years' imprisonment, as the judge had given far too much weight to the facts that the offender had a seriously ill daughter, had killed his best friend, and had himself been injured.
