WHETHER DISCRETIONARY LIFE SENTENCE MANIFESTLY EXCESSIVE

June 28, 2013

A discretionary life sentence with a minimum term of four years for offences of false imprisonment, committing an offence with intent to commit a sexual offence and sexual assault was manifestly excessive. Such a sentence was to be reserved for the gravest offences and a sentence of detention for public protection with a three-year minimum term was appropriate.
