[2012] EWCA Crim 2430

A sentence of imprisonment for public protection with a minimum term of seven-and-a-half years, imposed for an offence of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, was not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive. The judge had been entitled to find that the risk to the public posed by the offender could not be adequately addressed by an extended sentence.
