[2007] EWCA Crim 2333

A sentence of 12 months' detention suspended for two years together with 150 hours' unpaid work, imposed following an 18-year-old offender's guilty plea to an offence of wounding with intent, was unduly lenient and was replaced with an immediate sentence of three years and three months' detention, in circumstances where the offender had armed himself with a knife and stabbed an innocent member of the public in the neck at night.
