Criminal fails to overturn sentence for violent robbery outside businessman's home
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Greally sentenced Dalton to six years' imprisonment but suspended the final 18 months, ordering that he follow all directions of the Probation Service for 12 months upon his release. Father-of-one Dalton appealed the length of the jail-term, arguing that a longer period of the sentence should have been imposed in the interests of his rehabilitation.
