CONT

Where it has been established that the sentencing judge made an error in the exercise of his or her discretion, the court may receive fresh evidence of post sentence conduct to determine whether some other sentence is warranted in law.

CONT

Despite the fact that it is the post-sentencing behaviour we might look to confirm the offender's dangerousness, the criterion that is already set out stresses at all times the past behaviour and offences. It really does not permit much allowance for change or for rehabilitation while in the system.
