[2012] EWCA Crim 3030

A judge had been wrong to conclude that an offender was dangerous within the meaning of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 Pt 12 s.225 following his conviction for conspiracy to import prohibited firearms from the United States into the United Kingdom. The seriousness of the offending and the offender's personal circumstances had not merited the imposition of a discretionary life sentence and it was replaced by a determinate sentence of 22 years' imprisonment.
