[2011] EWCA Crim 2908

A sentence of 18 months' imprisonment imposed after a guilty plea to threatening to take revenge on a witness was not manifestly excessive. Those who reported criminal activities were entitled to expect that they would be protected and that significant sentences would be passed if they were threatened.
