R v DARREN JOHN YATES (2012)

[2012] EWCA Crim 1657

Whilst there was sufficient material before a sentencing judge on which to make findings of dangerousness meriting a sentence of imprisonment for public protection, in relation to an offender who had pleaded guilty to attempted robbery and possession of an knife, the specified minimum term of four years' imprisonment was manifestly excessive.
