The Court of Appeal reduced and suspended Sam Minter’s sentence for affray, threats to kill, and non-fatal strangulation after finding counts 4 and 6 were too high.
Minter, R. v [2026] EWCA Crim 359 (03 March 2026)
Court of Appeal reduced and suspended Sam Minter’s sentence for affray, threats to kill, and non-fatal strangulation after finding counts 4 and 6 were too high.
The seriousness of the appellant's offending was sufficiently reflected in the time spent on remand, licence, and post-sentence supervision, and in the unusual circumstances of the case, it would not serve the purposes of sentencing to impose further post-sentence conditions; a conditional discharge was appropriate.

Miah, R. v [2025] EWCA Crim 1100 (08 July 2025)
The Court of Appeal allowed a sentence appeal in a domestic abuse case, quashed detention for non-fatal strangulation and imposed concurrent two-year conditional discharges.
A, Re [2025] EWFC 101 (B) (26 March 2025)
Fact-finding in private law children proceedings. The court found the Father had subjected the Mother to repeated serious domestic abuse, coercive control, and non-fatal strangulation.
The erroneous advice regarding the immigration consequences of a 12-month sentence did not deprive the appellant of a defence available in law, nor did it render his guilty plea anything other than a true acknowledgement of guilt; therefore, the conviction is safe.

Welsh, R. v [2024] EWCA Crim 1149 (20 September 2024)
The Court of Appeal allowed an Attorney General’s reference and increased Craig Welsh’s sentence, finding the original rape and strangulation sentence unduly lenient.
Carrasco, R. v [2024] EWCA Crim 499 (30 April 2024)
The Court of Appeal Criminal Division dismissed an appeal against conviction, holding that erroneous advice about deportation consequences did not make the guilty plea unsafe.
The sentence for rape was unduly lenient as the judge wrongly departed from the 8-year starting point, improperly reduced the sentence for prison conditions, and failed to properly balance aggravating and mitigating factors. The sentence for non-fatal strangulation was adjusted to reflect mitigation and totality. The overall sentence was increased to 8 years and 9 months.
