[2008] EWCA Crim 1336

A sentence of three years and nine months' imprisonment imposed following a guilty plea to an offence of manslaughter was manifestly excessive, as the offender's conduct had been reckless and stupid, but was not motivated by malice and he had not intended to harm the victim in any way. A sentence of two-and-a-half years' imprisonment was substituted.
