[2012] EWCA Crim 1996

An appeal against a sentence of imprisonment for public protection imposed in respect of an offence of robbery was quashed and replaced with a sentence of four years' imprisonment. The sentencing judge's assessment of the offender's dangerousness had been made on the erroneous basis that he had a previous conviction for robbery.
