Appeal against an indeterminate sentence of imprisonment for public protection with a specified minimum term of 18 months with 140 days on remand in custody to count towards sentence. The sentence was imposed following an earlier plea of guilty to an offence of making a threat to kill. The appeal concerns not the custodial sentence or the notional determinate length of three years, but whether the sentence should have been an indeterminate one of imprisonment for public protection.
