[2009] EWCA Crim 2262

Although a sentence of three-and-a-half years' detention imposed on a young offender for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm was not manifestly excessive in isolation, there was disparity with the sentence imposed on a co-accused who was convicted after trial and sentenced to four years' detention as the judge had not given enough credit for the offender's guilty plea.
