[2004] EWCA Crim 2062

Community punishment and rehabilitation orders were unduly lenient for causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Notwithstanding the defendants' youth and their pleas of guilty, and taking into account double jeopardy, the sentences would be increased to two-year detention and training orders for two of the defendants and a 12-month detention and training order in relation to the third to take into account the seven months he spent in custody prior to sentence.
