Summary: Listen to the show here. In a slightly shorter show this week, Lyndon discusses a case of rape where the offender was given a non-custodial sentence. Is it right? Why might he have received such a low sentence? I can hear the Daily Mail mob and their pitchforks now... Also, Lyndon discusses a case which came out of the Court of Appeal on 4th March 2014 about dangerous offenders. In a long judgment the Court gave guidance on the sentencing in such cases, but Lyndon takes a brief look at a comment the Court made about Automatic life sentences. Finally, as many of you will have heard, the lawyers are going on strike this week. Why? What are the issues? Why should I be concerned? Dan answers all these questions.
