would have thought a bigger sentence was in order myself but the judges hands are tied with sentencing guidlines
Quote:
The judge said for most of Hall's offences the maximum sentence at the time they were committed was two years, but the remainder carried a potential term of five years.
He added: "The maximum sentence for this type of offence has been significantly increased, since these offences were committed, to 10 years."
The attorney general's office said it had already had a "small number" of requests to review the sentence to determine if it was "unduly lenient".
