[2008] EWCA Crim 2007

A sentence of imprisonment for public protection with a minimum term of two-and-a-half years for wounding with intent and assault by beating was replaced by a sentence of five years' imprisonment, as the previous convictions taken into account when the judge had assessed dangerousness should have been disregarded, since they were very old and had been committed when the offender was a teenager.
