The Dorset offenders who had sentences increased by the Court of Appeal OVER the past three years a handful of Dorset offenders have seen the sentences for their crimes increased by the Court of Appeal. The responsibility for passing sentence in criminal cases at the crown court comes down to the judge. This is after the defendant has admitted his guilt to the offences he is alleged to have committed or once they have been found guilty at a trial. The sentence someone receives following conviction is determined after the judge considers a number of factors. For most crimes they are guided by a sentencing guideline, which provides the starting point for the offence given its seriousness, along with a sentencing range.
