[2004] EWCA Crim 1164

Three of the defendants' sentences for aggravated vehicle taking were manifestly excessive given their early guilty pleas and would each be reduced by six months. The second defendant's sentence would not be reduced as it could not be seen why his sentence was significantly shorter than the others', given his late plea. His sentence of six months, ordered to run consecutively for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, was not manifestly excessive.
