[2013] EWCA Crim 1036

A judge had been entitled not to suspend a sentence of two years' imprisonment for an offender's conspiracy to burgle her employer's house in breach of trust. Although the defendant would be separated from her two-year-old son with medical problems, the judge had engaged properly in the necessary balancing exercise and had been entitled to conclude that the seriousness of the burglary justified the separation.
