[2011] EWCA Crim 3319

A judge had erred in finding an offender dangerous within the meaning of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 as, although his involvement in a planned joint enterprise attack on his disabled father was appalling and sadistic, a long determinate sentence was sufficient to meet the justice of the case and to afford the public protection.
