[2004] EWCA Crim 816

A conviction for using threatening behaviour was unsafe as the defendant's plea of guilty had not been entered freely. The judge had indicated that if the defendant fought a charge of affray, and lost, he would be facing imprisonment and if he pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of using threatening behaviour he would impose a non-custodial sentence.
