[2001] EWCA Crim 1250

Although the offence of causing grievous bodily harm with intent was grave, where the appellant had made a sustained attack on a two-year-old child using weapons and hitting her against the wall a sentence of ten years' imprisonment was too long and was substituted with a term of eight years.
