United Kingdom (1998), Court of Appeal

R. v H
[1999] 1 Cr. App. R.(S.) 470, *470

Among other offences, the appellant was found guilty of raping his estranged wife. The Court sentenced him to ten years imprisonment, but this appeal reduced his term to seven years because the Court found that the appellant recognized the seriousness of his actions.

“Since the sentence was passed upon him this man has come to a full realisation of what he has done... and the way in which he has abused his wife, who is to be, in many ways, commended for the understanding and forgiving attitude which she has adopted towards him.”(Quoted form Original Judgment)
