[2012] EWCA Crim 2737

Whatever mitigation was offered, a well-deserved sentence for possessing and producing a Class B drug, namely cannabis, could not be suspended simply because the offender had responsibility for children. However, in the light of new mitigating features a sentence of two months' imprisonment was substituted for one of three months.
