Graham, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 326 (25 February 2026)
The Court of Appeal reduced Nathan Graham’s sentence for wounding with intent from 12 years to seven years after finding the sentencing category was overstated.
The sentencing judge correctly categorised the offences as category B1, properly considered aggravating and mitigating features, and applied the totality principle and credit for guilty pleas. The overall sentence was not manifestly excessive.
Source excerpt
The sentence was not manifestly excessive or wrong in principle, as the offence was premeditated, involved significant harm, and the applicant had relevant previous convictions. No arguable ground of appeal was raised, and no satisfactory explanation was provided for the delay in seeking to renew the application for leave to appeal.
