Court of Appeal acceded to DPP's application and varies sentence for attempted robbery, on the grounds that: (a) the sentence imposed by the sentencing judge was significantly outside the norm for such an offence given the many aggravating factors present; and (b) while rehabilitation was an important objective in sentencing, there had been no material before the sentencing judge justifying a further reduction in sentence or the suspension of a portion of the sentence.
Offence: attempted robbery
Original sentence: 12 months with 5 months suspended
Appeal by: prosecution (statutory application)
Outcome: sentence quashed and new sentence substituted of two and a half years
