[2012] EWCA Crim 1764

A sentence of three years' imprisonment imposed for six offences of theft was excessive, given that the offender had pleaded guilty at the first opportunity and asked for 68 other offences to be taken into consideration. The recorder had failed to give the conventional one-third reduction for the guilty plea.
